Normal. That's how anyone in the town of Donour would describe Lyra-Grae if asked, she was a sweet girl with wide innocent eyes and intentions as pure as snow - on the outside. Inside Lyra faces a decision which could potentially ruin her life, end it completely or give her a chance in finding everything she desires, with a man who waltzed into her life with a fake name, bounty on his head and hands that created magic between the sheets. It's always a choice between the head or the heart, so with Lyra's heart already beating erratically for the nameless stranger and her head longing for the spike of adrenaline there seems only one natural thing to do. Jump head first into unknown territory with her heart unshielded and her life on the line.

The Starlight Pact
In this world, humans live unaware of the existence of magic, but some possess latent abilities-like the ability to manipulate elements. These people are born into powerful families that control magic, and each family is bound by an ancient pact made long ago, a pact that prohibits their magical powers from being used outside of their realms. However, there is one loophole: the rarest of "starlight-born" individuals can create a link between realms, and these people are born once every century. Our protagonist, Lyra, is a young woman who has grown up in a family with no magical bloodline. She's spent most of her life feeling like an outsider, knowing her family is poor and ordinary, while others live in splendor thanks to their magical heritage. One night, after a strange celestial event, she begins to develop strange abilities-powers that seem to transcend the natural world. Meanwhile, Dorian, the mysterious heir to the Fire Realm, comes into her life. He's seen the prophecy of the Starlight Pact-the rare individual who can bridge the gap between the realms-and believes Lyra is the one destined to reunite the fractured magic. But there's a catch: the pact is tied to love, and the connection between them is not just magical-it's romantic. As their bond grows, they uncover a dark conspiracy within the magical families. Some believe the pact should never be fulfilled, fearing it will destroy the delicate balance between realms. Now, Lyra and Dorian must navigate their budding romance, with trust, betrayal, and danger closing in from every side. The fate of their worlds rests on whether their love can transcend the boundaries between magic and reality.
