Of Darkness and Ruination

Starlight in her veins, and a soul that calls for darkness.

On the magical continent of Celesterra, all humans are enslaved to the ruling fae...

Asteria Zagreus, a mortal young woman enslaved on Celesterra, must face Placement Day, the one day where all humans, at the age of Twenty-One, are placed in new kingdoms and given new masters to serve. Come Placement Day, Asteria is forced into Dusk Kingdom, and given to it’s Prince, Cyrus Tynan. When she refuses him and his desires, Asteria realizes she has only one option: escaping her enslavement and finding something thought impossible...freedom. Asteria must begin to play her own game within the court...and with the Prince of Dusk Kingdom himself.

Enemies come from all sides, however, and the merciless ruler of the Night Kingdom, King Calix Atarah Erebus starts making his move against the Dusk Kingdom. Yet, darkness calls to her in mysterious ways, and an equally mysterious soldier makes Asteria question who the real monsters are. When Asteria discovers that she may be more than just a pawn in the bloody war that’s brewing and that the kingdoms are all at risk, she is forced to choose between a brutal king and a callous prince. Asteria must navigate her way through and decide who the true villain of her story is. Her choice, and the consequences of it, will ripple out across the continent.

Chaos rises, resistance gathers, and a soulmate bond is tested, while Asteria begins down a path that will change the course of history...
