They want her captured. Or dead. But Astraia was never meant to bow.
Astraia has spent her life running—from her past, from her bond to an ancient power, and from the choices that left her hollow. Marked by the constellations, she is feared as a weapon, hunted as a threat, and haunted by everything she could not save. Now, as villages burn and shadows rise in the northern reaches of Virellia, Astraia is forced to confront more than just the monsters tearing through the realm—she must face the ones still buried inside her. When a mission leads her to cross paths with a hunter who sees through her walls, Astraia is torn between the steel she's built around her heart and the unraveling truth that vulnerability might be her greatest strength. But some things are not so easily buried. With slow-burn tension, morally gray choices, and a heroine who battles both blade and memory, Beneath the Silent Stars is a darkly poetic romantasy debut perfect for fans of Daughter of No Worlds, The Shadows Between Us, and Shadow and Bone. Sometimes, survival isn't the victory. Choosing to rise anyway is.
