What We Do In The Shadows Drug Blood

In a world where the stars themselves bestow power, the heavens have been shattered. Once whole and luminous, the celestial canopy now hangs broken, its pieces scattered across the mortal realm. The constellations—embodiments of strength, wisdom, and magic—lie in fragments, their power unleashed to the world below. What was meant to guide and protect now threatens to tear the world apart. The calamity was the work of Orion the Skybreaker, a celestial turned rogue. In his hunger for ultimate power, Orion shattered the heavens, breaking the constellations. Fragments rained upon the mortal world, granting unimaginable abilities to those who found them. But the power is wild and dangerous, corrupting those unworthy of wielding it. As chaos spreads and factions rise to claim the fallen stars, the celestial council is left weakened, unable to restore the shattered sky. Their only hope lies in a mortal: a young, unremarkable man named Kael. Kael’s courage and resolve catch the attention of Astraea, one of the last remaining celestials, who entrusts him with a sacred mission: to reclaim the fragments, rebuild the constellations, and repair the shattered sky. Kael’s path is fraught with sacrifice. To mend the heavens, he must face the truth about the constellations’ origins, Orion’s betrayal, and the terrible cost of repairing what has been broken. As he pieces together the celestial works, Kael learns that some stars burn too brightly, and some wounds may never heal. Will Kael have the strength to reunite the stars and stop the Void’s return? Or will he be consumed by the very power he seeks to restore? The journey to heal the shattered sky begins here—a tale of courage, betrayal, and the boundless hope that lies within even the smallest spark of light. The Shattered Sky: Herald of the Celestials is an epic fantasy of cosmic proportions, filled with breathtaking battles, intricate power struggles, and a protagonist whose growth inspires as much as it astounds. Prepare to witness the rebirth of the heavens, one chapter at a time.

"I will touch the stars... or die trying." ==================== Note: NO R-18, R**e, Romance or pre-marital handholding. I take no pleasure in writing such things. There's a bunch of killing and gruesome descriptions though. The novel is a bit slow in the first chapters, but after that, it picks up and gets significantly better. Also, the power system is similar to BotDS, but I've asked the author for permission to use it. It's also heavily inspired my writing, but the beginning is where its most prevalent.
