#1 - Heavenly Bodies

You know the most dangerous kind of villain? A woman with nothing left to lose.

In a world ruled by the Stars, cruel and merciless gods, Elara has been cursed by fate.

A prophecy promises she will fall for a Star, but that it will kill them both.

Yet when the Star of Wrath and War descends to hunt Elara, the neighbouring kingdom sees an opportunity to take her from her home, the Kingdom of Night, to Helios, Kingdom of Light. Where she strides straight into the arms of an enemy prince.

There, Elara is forced to either let Prince Lorenzo train her into a weapon worthy of battling against the tyrannical reign of the Stars, or to accept her fate.

But there are shadows even within the Kingdom of Light – and they threaten to reveal the darkness in Lorenzo’s past and the ancient magic that slumbers in Elara’s veins.

And with it all, the undeniable, star-crossed pull between them...

#2 - Fallen Stars

Never make a bargain with a god.

Elara is vengeful. Enzo is trapped between the realms of life and death and her enemy has vanished, taking her love’s only connection to the waking world with him. But there is a darker force at play, one that even Ariete, King of the Stars, is afraid of.

On the run with enemies at every turn, Elara must enlist friends, old and new, and learn to control her almighty powers if she has any hope of saving her soulmate. Whatever happens, there is one thing she is certain of... STARS WILL FALL.

*****

Surrender to the darkness.


The Dark has returned. And she is hunting hearts.

There are whispers of war. That should the Dark collect the hearts of all her Stars, she could create the kind of army that neither mortal nor god could stand against.

And Elara will do anything to prevent such a reckoning.

Now allied with her own worst enemy, the King of Stars, she and her friends must race to kill or corrupt Stars before the Dark can reach them.

But in the brutal ice kingdom of Perses, where violence is honour and to be heartless is to survive, the line between good and evil begins to blur. And as Elara’s immortal magic grows, so does her lust for vengeance – no matter the cost.
