The White Star

THE WAR IS OVER. OR SO THE WORLD DARES TO BELIEVE.

For Solari-legendary assassin, Grand Shadow, and a weapon shaped by blood-peace is not a sanctuary. It is a precipice. After a lifetime of death and darkness, he stands on the edge of something far more terrifying than any battlefield: a future where he must learn to feel... and risk everything for love.

At his side is Alythiel-light to his shadow, warmth to his cold, and the one person who sees the man beneath the monster. With her, Solari tastes something dangerously intoxicating: quiet moments that linger too long, laughter that feels like a promise, and a love so fragile it could shatter with a single misstep. For the first time, he dares to believe he might deserve more than the life he was forged into.

BUT PEACE IS A FRAGILE ILLUSION.

In the radiant city of Emberheart, people are vanishing without a trace. Beneath its golden glow, something ancient and hungry stirs-something that feeds on desperation and thrives in silence. And it is growing bolder.

To protect what he's found, Solari must step back into the darkness he swore to leave behind. Because the greatest danger isn't the horror lurking beneath the city.

IT'S THE MAN HE BECOMES WHEN HE LETS GO OF HER.

And when love is the only thing tethering him to the light... losing it might be the one thing that finally destroys him.
