THE DYING STAR
Synopsis: The Dying Star
The Heart of Aetheris has kept the world alive for centuries, a celestial force binding magic, life, and destiny. But something is wrong. The Heart is fading—or worse, it’s being devoured.
Kael, a smuggler with no allegiance to kings or gods, never wanted to be a hero. But when a dying monk stumbles into his path, whispering a cryptic warning of a broken Heart and a coming doom, Kael is thrust into a war he doesn’t understand.
Across the shattered empire, Prince Dain, the Hollow King, rises from exile, wielding a power that should not exist. He believes the only way to break the cycle of suffering is to shatter the Heart completely—to burn away the old world and forge something new. But the entity that granted him his power is not done with him yet.
As empires fall and Hollowborn warriors spread their corruption, Kael must join forces with the exiled empress Vaeloria, the rogue star-mage Lysara, and a Hollowborn knight clinging to the last fragments of his humanity. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the Heart’s decay before Dain’s war consumes everything.
But some truths were meant to stay buried.
And some stars are meant to die.
