Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

You'll experience a cathartic release of emotion through intense, star-crossed romance that keeps you glued to the page with its addictive tension.

Synopsis

“Stars will fall.” Elara is vengeful. Her love is in a deep sleep, trapped between the realms of life and death. Her enemy has vanished, Enzo’s only connection to the waking world with him. And a life that Elara has never wanted has been thrust upon her, along with a new power she can not control. Now a disgraced queen, Elara must go on a quest to find a way to wake Enzo, while also seeking help from the Titans, a league of gods who ruled the world long before the Stars. But there is a darker power at play, one that even Ariete, King of the Stars, is afraid of. With enemies at every turn, Elara must tread carefully if she has any hope of waking her soulmate, and keeping the promise she made - that every Star will fall.

At a Glance

This sequel to Heavenly Bodies dials everything up—the angst, the spice, the stakes. Elara is out for vengeance after Enzo is trapped between life and death, and she is not handling it gracefully. Pirates, circuses, dark magick, and lost Titan gods expand the world in wild directions. The spice is significantly higher than book 1 and the emotional damage is real. Erriu writes like violence is poetry. Not a standalone—read Heavenly Bodies first or you will be lost.
