Smoke & Stars (The Source of Light #1)

Jane Smith’s life has been nothing but misery. Abandoned as an infant in the Northern forests, she grew up in the city’s foster care system—unloved, unwanted, and utterly alone.

By the time she turns twenty, she’s barely scraping by, working tirelessly just to survive.

That is, until the night she is abducted by small, peculiar aliens.

Taken to the kingdom of Ornath, Jane learns of a prophecy that binds her fate to Prince Jion and the looming war against the Tenebrae, a ruthless race of humanoids bent on draining entire planets of their light.

Preparing for a marriage she never wanted, Jane struggles to make sense of her place in the universe, the goddess Amantius, and the enigmatic power of Source Light—a force beyond her understanding.

But as the war escalates, she faces an even more unsettling truth: she may be falling for Glade, Jion’s arrogant and reckless younger brother.
