BLOOD AND STARDUST

By Princess Regalia and ELARA VOSS

Every hundred years, the stars choose a queen. This time, they choose the wrong woman.
Lyra Vesper has spent her life buried in the Royal Archives, preserving the history of kingdoms that barely know her name. She has no royal blood, no political ambition, and no reason to stand before a crown. Yet on the Night of Choosing, the ancient Celestial Crown descends from the heavens and claims her before the eyes of an entire kingdom.
Within hours, her ordinary life is gone.
As rival kingdoms race to possess the new Star Queen, forgotten cities rise from legend, the dead begin answering an ancient call, and secrets hidden for four centuries emerge from beneath the world's carefully rewritten history. Every answer Lyra uncovers reveals a greater deception, and every use of the crown's extraordinary power transforms another part of her blood into stardust. Her greatest ally is Cassian Draven, the kingdom's feared commander, a man whose unwavering sense of duty is matched only by the dangerous secrets he carries. As war draws closer and impossible choices begin to divide kingdoms, the line between protector and something far more personal grows increasingly difficult to ignore.
But some loves are born beneath cursed stars. Some crowns demand more than loyalty. And some queens are chosen not to rule the world, but to decide whether it survives.

Blood and Stardust is an epic romantasy filled with slow-burn romance, political intrigue, ancient mysteries, breathtaking magic, and impossible sacrifice. Perfect for readers who love emotionally driven fantasy with unforgettable characters, sweeping, world building, and high-stakes romance.
