Cinders of the Starbound Court

Forbidden magic has slept beneath the Starbound Court for generations—until archivist Lyra Veyne uncovers a dangerous ash-bound power hidden in the royal records.

When the court’s fragile succession begins to collapse, Lyra is forced into an uneasy alliance with Aric Solmere, a rival heir with secrets of his own and a claim that could ignite the kingdom. He is everything she should distrust: ambitious, guarded, and bound to the same crown that has already destroyed too many lives. Yet the deeper they search through buried betrayals, broken oaths, and star-marked prophecies, the harder it becomes to deny the pull between them.

As forbidden magic awakens and the throne turns to cinders, Lyra must decide whether to protect the court that silenced her—or risk everything for the rival heir who may be the only one willing to burn with her.

Cinders of the Starbound Court is a romantic fantasy of forbidden magic, rival heirs, court intrigue, and a crown on the edge of ruin.
