The Maiden Who Refused the Stars

In the Kingdom of Aeloria, prophecy isn't just tradition it’s law. Every child's destiny is written in the stars by the Celestial Oracles, and to defy your path is to invite divine punishment. Sera Ashen croft was prophesied to be the Sacrificial Maiden, destined to die on her twenty-fifth birthday to renew the kingdom's magical barrier and save millions. Born without a drop of magic in a world where power determines worth, she was raised in gilded captivity, treated as a sacred martyr-in-waiting rather than a person. But Sera refuses to die for a kingdom that never saw her as human. Three days before her prophesied death, she escapes triggering a divine crisis that shakes the very foundations of Aeloria. The magical barrier begins to crumble. The gods themselves descend, furious at her defiance. And the kingdom's most feared enforcer, Crown Prince Caelan Valorian the God touched warrior who was prophesied to escort her to her death is ordered to drag her back by any means necessary. Caelan is everything Sera should hate: ruthlessly powerful, blessed by the gods, and utterly devoted to the prophecy system that would kill her. But when he finds her, something impossible happens. His god-mark burns in her presence. Ancient magic awakens in her veins. And the prophecy that promised her death begins to rewrite itself in blood and starlight. Now the gods are terrified. Because Sera isn't just defying her destiny she's becoming something that should never exist. Something more dangerous than any prophecy. And she's going to burn the whole system down.

Moon Marked

Kira Ashwood was born cursed. The silver crescent mark on her shoulder blade appeared the night of her birth during a forbidden lunar eclipse a sign the pack elders called an abomination. In the rigid hierarchy of the Silverpaw Pack, moon marks are the ultimate taboo, proof of dark magic, and reason enough for execution. Her parents hid the mark for seventeen years, but when the Alpha's son discovered her secret, everything collapsed. Her father the pack's Beta was stripped of his rank and exiled. Her mother took her own life from the shame. And Kira? She was given two choices: immediate execution or be sold to the highest bidder as a breeder. At eighteen, standing on the auction block in chains, Kira keeps her chin high even as her world burns. Alphas from across the territories bid on her like livestock, drawn by her bloodline despite her curse. She's prepared for cruelty, for violation, for a living death. What she's not prepared for is him. Kieran Bloodmoon the Alpha who destroyed her pack five years ago. The executioner who slaughtered her childhood friends during the territory war. The monster whose name makes grown wolves tremble. The most brutal, powerful, devastatingly dangerous Alpha in the Northern Territories. He buys her contract for a staggering price, and every wolf in attendance knows why: Bloodmoon Pack needs heirs, and Kira's Beta bloodline is valuable breeding stock. She'll be used until she produces strong pups, then discarded. But when Kieran's hand closes around her wrist to claim his purchase, the world explodes. The mate bond snaps into place with volcanic force savage, undeniable, absolutely forbidden. Her moon mark burns silver fire. His eyes flash with something beyond shock. Around them, the crowd erupts in chaos because everyone can see it, smell it, feel it: the cursed breeder and the brutal Alpha are fated mates. It's impossible. Alphas don't mate with marked ones. Executioners don't mate with their victims. And Kira sure as hell doesn't mate with the man who destroyed everything she loved. "This changes nothing," Kieran growls as he drags her from the auction. "You're still my breeder. The bond means nothing." But the bond means everything. It's driving them both mad the desperate need to touch, to claim, to complete the mating. Kira fights it with every breath, even as her body betrays her, drawn to the male she should hate more than anyone in the world. As she's forced into Kieran's world, Kira discovers nothing is what it seemed. Her moon mark isn't a curse it's an ancient power that could shift the balance of power in the territories. Her pack's destruction wasn't random brutality it was orchestrated by someone who knew what she was and wanted her dead. And Kieran? The monster executioner is hiding secrets that could destroy them both. He's not the mindless killer she believed. He's trapped in a political nightmare, bound by oaths to a corrupt Council, and carrying trauma that mirrors her own. Someone powerful wants them apart. Someone is hunting moon-marked wolves and exterminating them. And someone knows that if Kira and Kieran complete their mate bond, they'll become too powerful to control. Kira has two choices: reject the bond with the male who killed her friends and lose her one chance at revenge, or accept her fated mate and embrace the power that could save—or doom them all. The moon marked her for a reason. Now she'll show the world why they should have feared her all along.

When Prophecy Breaks

In the Kingdom of Celestara, prophecies aren't predictions they’re law. Every child born under the Starfall receives their destiny written in the constellations, and to defy it means death. But Sera Luminhart was born under a dark sky, without a single star to mark her fate. They called her the Void-Born, the girl with no destiny, no magic, no purpose. For twenty-three years, she accepted her role as invisible, working as a scribe in the Prophecy Archives while watching others live the grand destinies she'd never have. Until the High Prophets declared her true purpose: to die. Her death, they claimed, would prevent a catastrophic war and save the kingdom. The man she secretly loved for years Crown Prince Cassian Thornewild stood silent as the council demanded her execution. Betrayed and condemned, Sera did the one thing no one in history had ever done: she refused. And when she spoke that refusal aloud, something impossible happened. The prophecies shattered. Magic itself fractured. And Sera discovered she wasn't powerless she was the only person alive who could unmake destiny itself. Now the gods are watching, the kingdom is in chaos, and three powerful men want to claim her: the prince who betrayed her and will grovel for forgiveness, the rebel lord who's loved her in secret, and the mysterious god-touched warrior who sees her as the key to overthrowing divine rule. But Sera isn't interested in being anyone's chosen one. This time, she'll write her own fate even if it means breaking the world to do it.
