After the final curse was broken, peace briefly returned to Storybrooke - but magic never truly vanishes. When Emma begins waking up under strange stars, hearing whispers in an ancient celestial language no one else understands, she suspects something is shifting. Regina, now devoted to guiding Storybrooke's fragile magical balance, senses Emma's light is dimming - something is pulling her away, unravelling her fate thread by thread. Their bond is tested when a Celestial Rift opens - a tear in the veil between realms - and Emma is marked by an ancient prophecy hidden in the stars: "The Starborn shall rise when heart and shadow align." But love between a Saviour and a former Queen of darkness is... not what fate intended. As the celestial realm of Aetheris begins to bleed into the waking world, Emma and Regina must unravel a prophecy that threatens to rewrite time, magic and memory - while confronting the deepest truth of all: They were always meant to find each other... but never meant to stay.
