Long ago, a celestial artifact known as the Star of Aeonis held the balance between light and shadow. When it shattered, its fragments fell across the world, each carrying immense power - and a curse.
Centuries later, Lyra, a young historian with the rare ability to hear echoes of the past, discovers one of these fragments and is thrust into a journey that spans kingdoms, gods, and forgotten realms.
Her path crosses with Kael, a cursed knight seeking redemption, and Mira, a thief with dreams of the stars. Together, they must piece together the Shattered Star - before a dark being known as the Voice Beyond the Veil awakens to consume all light.

With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left.

Moonspire: The Song of Four Heirs
🌙 The Moonspire has fallen. Its magic shattered, its people scattered, its secrets buried in ruin. But four young heirs survive. Lunara - Seventeen, silver-eyed, carrying her father's final gift: a charm of raw, ancient magic. Fierce, determined, but haunted by the power she cannot control. Lyra - Ten years old, innocent yet unshaken, her soft voice carrying strange strength. Where her sister burns with duty, she shines with hope. Kaelen - Sixteen, sharp-minded and stubborn, a half-elf boy hiding the truth of his royal blood. Quick to fight, quicker to calculate, and slower to admit what stirs in his heart for Lunara. Selene - Twelve, Kaelen's little sister, quiet and clever. Loyal beyond question, she sees family in Lunara and Lyra-and overhears more than anyone realizes. Maerwen - A warrior woman in exile, scarred by grief after losing her twin daughters. Her blade is merciless, but her compassion for the heirs is fiercer still. Eryndor - An old scholar who once walked the halls of the Moonspire. Burdened with secrets, guilt, and knowledge of the prophecy that may doom or save them all. Hunted by the Shadow-King's scouts, whispered of in human courts, and watched by gods who stir uneasily in their sleep, the heirs must learn to stand together-or be broken apart. Their song, the prophecy calls it: a harmony of blood, magic, and soul. But every song demands a price. And if they fail, the world will fall into silence.Complete
