Starbound Betrayal

By Morrigan Gaines

Two hearts fated to bring about the end of magic.

Legends often sprout from a seed of truth. Some say Aestrith Vega and Valerian Frazier were traitors. Some remember them as star-crossed lovers doomed by Daena, the goddess of destiny. Time has obscured the true story.

Aestrith, a battle-hardened warrior mage, searches for peace in a land on the verge of civil war. Valerian, an ambitious scholar, seeks forbidden knowledge between the pages of a mysterious book of magical theories. They forge a relationship from stolen moments filled with shared laughter and quiet understanding.

Centuries later, lost records and twisted legends have distorted their lives. This is the tale of two souls whose intertwined fates send ripples through the ages. From the echoes of their legend, a figure emerges, shaping the world long after their story ends.

This is a novella that ties into the Chronicles of Osmaria series. It can be read as a stand-alone story.
