We've always drawn strength from the stars... but when a candle's flame goes out, our bodies wither.
Ellie, a blue celestial who pulls strength from the stars, has always believed she was just the daughter of the King Guard's chief. But when her planet falls under attack and the love of her life tells her they need to find a ship to escape on, everything changes. Running for their lives, Ellie soon discovers her love's betrayal-it isn't the planet the invaders are after... It's her. Dealing with heartache, fear, and the looming threat that's hunting her, Ellie must embrace the powers that have been dormant inside her and face reality: she's the only one who can save her people... or bring them to the brink of destruction. It all depends on a mysterious candle's everlasting flame... Does Ellie fall for the enemy's king who has ravished her people and is after her powers? Or will her heart stay true to the man who's had it for a lifetime? At what cost will her choice be made? Note: this book contains mature content and is intended for readers 18+
