Bound by an Oath. Forged in shadows. Destined to shatter kingdoms.
Twenty-one-year-old Luze has been in exile for most of her life, for a crime that irreparably damaged her kingdom’s future. When her uncle arrives, offering a perilous proposition, she desperately takes it: she will travel to the enemy lands of Altheara and kill their prince.
Bound to a magical Oath that will kill her if she does not fulfill it, Luze must become ruthless. With her magic damaged from her years in exile, she can trust no one—not even herself. As she adapts to her new role as spy and assassin, a forbidden romance springs between Luze and Thyo, the prince’s calculating right hand, even as both mask hidden motives. As Luze begins to question everything she’s been taught, her every move is watched by Aslen, the Huntress, an Althearan with fierce loyalty to the prince and a dangerous secret of her own.
Worse, something is not right in Altheara—a dark, shadowed magic lurks, and a sinister plot threatens the entire realm. As secrets surface and blood is spilled, Luze realizes she will have to kill or be killed—unless she can find a way to reclaim her lost magic, break her Oath, and save both kingdoms from doom.
For readers who devour enemies-to-lovers, spy heroines with knives behind their backs, and high-stakes fantasy full of betrayal, secrets, and slow-burn tension, A Craft of Starlight is your next obsession.
