In a world where faith is weaponized and monsters are condemned before they are understood, a wandering celestial anomaly becomes the center of an ancient prophecy. Nyra Vesper, a half-celestial wraith born from a fallen star, has spent centuries drifting through ruined cities and forgotten forests, feared as a living omen of catastrophe. Her silence and instability only deepen the belief that her existence will one day end the world. Hunted by the religious order known as the Choir of Ashes—whose leaders each represent faith, force, and fate—Nyra becomes the target of a prophecy they are determined to prevent at any cost. But when her path crosses with Lucien Crowe, a beastkin hunter raised to destroy beings like her, the lines between duty and truth begin to blur. As unlikely bonds form and buried secrets surface, even the Choir begins to fracture under its own convictions. With prophecy tightening like a noose and celestial power stirring beneath her skin, Nyra becomes more than a hunted myth—she becomes the question no one wants answered: Is she the end of the world… or the only thing trying to save it?
