The Stars are Dying: Nytefall Book 1

More about the book

In a world abandoned by celestial guardians and ruled by a tyrant king, Astraea finds safety in seclusion but longs to uncover her fragmented past. With only five years of memories, she is determined to learn more, even if it means escaping the cruel protection meant to shield her from the wicked vampires said to roam the land. Her journey takes a turn when she encounters the enigmatic Nyte, whose presence is as dark as the void between stars. Astraea soon realizes that her captor's control is rooted in more than mere deception. In a moment of desperation, she accepts Nyte's help, unsure if she’s aligning herself with one of the feared bloodthirsty beings. Their bargain leads Astraea to accompany her best friend Cassia to the King’s Central for the centenary of the Libertatem, a series of trials where five human lands vie for a cycle of safety from the vampires. When tragedy strikes during the event, Astraea faces a pivotal choice: to take the place of a murdered participant for the sake of her kingdom or to pursue her quest for protection and the truth about her past. As danger looms, she must weigh the value of sacrifice against her deepest desires.
