In the land of Selnia, where the Starbonded, mortals gifted by celestial pacts, shape the fate of nations, and the death of King Alden plunges the realm into chaos. With the threat of the Starless, twisted, vengeful creatures once rejected by the stars, looming on the horizon, alliances are forged and rivalries ignited in the fight for survival. Lord Cedric Varian, armed with the fearsome power of Draco, leads a ruthless campaign to defend Selnia from the Starless. At his side is Lady Evelyne Amana , whose bond with Lyra grants her unmatched cunning and influence. Together, they must contend with the unexpected return of Prince Kael Ironfrost, a forgotten heir backed by Orion's warlike strength. Meanwhile, Thief-Queen Liora, tethered to the healing shadows of Hydra, emerges from the underworld to protect her people from the growing conflict. As the Starbonded clash and loyalties shift, the true cost of their celestial pacts begins to reveal itself. In a world where the stars grant power at a price, the lines between hero and villain blur, and the fate of Selnia hangs by a thread. Can the Starbonded save their fractured realm, or will their pacts become the very chains that drag them into ruin?
