The Chained Star

Chained to the edge of the sea, offered as sacrifice to a monster, Andromeda's fate was written by others, her silence, her captivity, her body bound to stone. But chains are not the end of her story.

In the lineage of daughters who endure, Andromeda rises as the next torchbearer of defiance. Her captivity becomes her crucible, her scars the map of her resilience. Where Persephone bloomed in shadow, and Eurydice carved her hymn in silence, Andromeda transforms her chains into starlight.

This is not the tale of a damsel rescued. This is the hymn of a daughter who refuses to be erased. Her defiance will burn brighter than the sea's rage, brighter than the gods' cruelty, brighter than the stars themselves.

The Chained Star is a story of endurance, reclamation, and transformation, the third voice in the Daughters of Defiance cycle, where every heroine claims her place in a living lineage of resistance.
