Beneath the Shadows of Starlight (The Starborn Chronicles #1)

SHE THOUGHT MAGIC WAS A MYTH.

Until it answered her.

For twenty years, Lyra Alerain has lived beyond the Veil, believing kingdoms, wielders, and monsters existed only in forgotten stories.

Then one brutal night changes everything.

An ancient power awakens beneath her skin. A world she never knew existed comes looking for her. And the legendary Arcane Sanctum opens its gates to a girl who was never supposed to exist.

Thrown into a realm divided by elemental magic, Lyra must learn to wield a power she barely understands while surviving deadly trials and a Sanctum steeped in secrets older than the kingdoms themselves.

But the deeper she ventures into this new world, the less its history begins to make sense and the more questions emerge about why she was hidden from it in the first place.

Then there’s Kieran Nyxara.

The Sanctum’s most feared shadow wielder.

Mysterious. Dangerous. Impossible to trust.

He knows the darkness better than anyone, and somehow, he always seems to know more about Lyra than he should. Yet the closer she gets to him, the harder it becomes to separate everything she has been taught to fear from the man standing in front of her.

And Kieran isn’t the only one keeping secrets.

Something ancient is stirring beyond the Veil. Forgotten histories are beginning to surface. And Lyra is discovering that the power awakening inside her may be connected to something the world tried very hard to bury.

Because some powers were buried by history.

Some names were meant to be forgotten.

And somewhere beyond the Veil, the darkness has been waiting for the last star to rise.
