She was born from starlight. He was built to find her. Together, they could kill a god—or save each other from one. Vesper has spent her life running from the Aether Guild and the strange pulse under her skin. But when she’s captured aboard the Hallowstar—a living ship forged from a shattered god—she discovers the terrifying truth: something ancient is waking beneath the deck, and it remembers her. Soren Ashvale was engineered from divine light to track her down. He was meant to be her hunter. Not her ally. Not her weakness. Not the man who burns with the same impossible power she does. Forced together by fate and hunted by a rising god, Vesper and Soren must unravel what binds them—or be consumed by it. Their bond is dangerous, intimate, and impossible to resist. When the First Light rises to reclaim its “lost sun,” Vesper faces a choice that will reshape the sky: Become a weapon… or choose her own shape. And choose him.
