Carve Our Stars

Lyra Ilvenhart survives by hiding her star-mark and mending the Dominion’s discarded—until one illegal act of mercy exposes her. Captured and thrown into Aurex, the sky-prison where constellations are carved into stone and every life is “written,” Lyra learns the truth: fate is a system of control… and she is an error it wants corrected.

Her cellmate is Cassian Vale—an ex-soldier with his destiny stripped, sharp with secrets and quiet fury. He knows Aurex’s hidden corridors, the Archive where broken scripts are buried, and the wardens who don’t kill prisoners—they erase what made them real.

Together, Lyra and Cassian uncover something the Dominion cannot permit: a way to unwrite the stars. Each new mark they carve fractures Aurex’s silence, calls other lost souls from the dark, and turns two fugitives into the spark of a rebellion.

In a world where love isn’t in the script and choice costs blood, Lyra must decide how much of herself she’ll risk to return stolen futures to their owners—before the Dominion writes her out of existence for good.
