The Night the Stars Fell
Book One | Fire and Starlight Saga
"My name is Astra Downs, and in three days I may destroy the world."
Magic has been dead for centuries, so the fact that Astra and Kato have some sort of power crawling beneath their skin may a sign that something is about to happen. The fact that they're twins is even more significant since no twins have ever been born before—not in their kingdom of Callenia or anywhere else on their continent. The power they hold is unknown and ancient, either or a gift or curse from the gods, and the closer they get to their eighteenth birthday, the closer it comes to breaking free and destroying everyone and everything they love.
When a handsome young stranger with connections to the prince of Callenia appears in their nothing town of Timberborn, they may finally have access to the answers they've been seeking their entire lives. Soon, they're running for their lives from a fearful king and the trust of strangers and new friends may be their only chance at survival and controlling their manifesting powers.

But Fate intervened, putting him in the path of the crown prince and his friends, including the lovely Isabella Bramfield. Isabella was a bright light in the midst of Alak's dark life, and for the first time in a long time he felt joy and hope. He had a future. He had worth. He had friends . . .
