Ruins of Starlight (Celestial Devotion, #1)

If death becomes the catalyst, their world will burn. Morgana's world is shattered when her brother vanishes into the sinister badlands of Vespera. Driven by her thirst for answers, she joins the ranks of the Umbran Guard by day, but come night, she takes to the streets in search of the people responsible for his disappearance.When her path crosses with Aster Sinclair, the shadow-cursed prince fated for death but willing to do anything for his cure, Morgana discovers that her quest for truth may be a more dangerous task than she could have ever expected.Magic poisons her blood, and that is too sweet a thing for Aster to ignore.Consumed by the opportunity to leverage her desperation, he traps her into an agreement and offers vital information in exchange for her cooperation. As their unwilling alliance deepens, the question of sacrifice and magic threatens to ruin the balance they sought to maintain.Their choice is simple.They must find a way to unravel the threads of fate, or one of them will die.But the shadows are watching—and they do not intend to go down silently.
