Infos

The realm of Aethel, woven from starlight and celestial rivers, is dying.  A cosmic parasite, the Blight, devours the light of the constellations, leaving only chilling emptiness in its wake. The starborn, conduits of celestial energy, are faltering in their age-old struggle against the encroaching darkness.  Hope itself flickers like a dying ember.
Isara Thorne, a young woman blessed-or cursed-with extraordinary celestial power, burns brighter than any starborn in generations.  Hunted relentlessly by monstrous incarnations of the Blight, she is haunted by the dying cries of the celestial spirits.  Yet, amidst the despair, a celestial melody whispers in her dreams, promising a way to fight back.
Altair Vance, hardened by loss and bound by duty, protects Isara with grim determination.  He sees her radiant hope as dangerous naiveté, her untamed power a liability in their desperate fight for survival.  Haunted by the memory of his sister, consumed by the Blight, he has built walls around his heart, shielding himself from any flicker of hope, even the radiant light of the girl he is sworn to protect.
Bound by circumstance, their paths collide under a sky streaked with the ghosts of dying stars.  Their journey for survival becomes a perilous quest across Aethel, towards the Whispering Archive-a celestial library rumored to hold the secrets of the cosmos.  From the crystalline forests of Xylos, where trees sing with fading light, to the treacherous Obsidian Sea, where shadows coalesce into monstrous forms, they face trials that will test not only their strength but the very foundations of their beliefs.
But the Whispering Archive holds a devastating truth: the Blight is not an external enemy, but a reflection of the starborn's own fear and despair. The celestial melody Isara hears is not a song of hope, but a dirge of sacrifice. Their burgeoning love, once a source of strength, becomes an agonizing choice. Will they succumb to the ancient ritual, sacrificing themselves to save Aethel? Or will they forge a new path, a rebellion against destiny itself, rewriting the symphony of the stars with a song of defiance and unwavering hope?
