The Crown of Star. A mighty artifact that symbolizes the Divine Federations might across the galaxies. Gone. Missing. The Colony Planets region is on the brink of disaster after the uprising in the Federation. But that won't stop Leonard Haravok from seeking his revenge even if it comes at the expense of the Divine Federation. Meanwhile on a distant planet, millions of light years away from the Federation, a young woman is about to endeavor on a great journey as the planet undergoes a transformative event. An event that might be linked to her past and her family.

Aveline Crystaine, was once the shining star of House Crystaine, a prestigious family known for its unmatched magical lineage. The Crystaines were revered as one of the Great Houses of the kingdom, capable of wielding ancient and powerful magic passed down through generations. Aveline was the heir to that legacy, a woman of extraordinary talent and potential. But everything changed when Aveline’s family was wiped out overnight in a mysterious tragedy. The once-powerful House Crystaine fell into disgrace, and Aveline—young and alone—was left to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. With no surviving relatives and no allies, Aveline was cast aside as the villainess, blamed for the fall of her house and accused of conspiring with dark forces. The truth, however, is far more complicated. Aveline's family wasn't destroyed by a simple political coup or betrayal—it was erased by magic. An ancient curse, woven into the very fabric of House Crystaine's existence, caused the house to vanish from history. The curse was so potent that it not only destroyed her family but also erased all records of their existence from public memory. Aveline herself is the only one who remembers House Crystaine for what it truly was. The only way for her to reclaim her family’s legacy and restore her house to its former glory is to uncover the truth behind the curse and break it. But there’s a catch: the curse is linked to Aveline's own magical abilities, and using her power to reveal the truth could cost her everything she holds dear.

I wish that was all I had to tell you, but my story is darker and filled with mystery and loss. My name is Maddox, and I should have never left the orphanage."
