In a multiverse balanced on the edge of twilight, saving the cosmos might mean sacrificing everything...

The celestial courts float among the stars—palaces carved from constellations, linked by shimmering portals, all orbiting the dying star known as the Heart of Eternity. Its fading light spells doom for countless worlds, a truth few dare to face.

Sylvi is a survivor. A scrappy thief haunted by an uncontrollable ability to ‘slip’ between worlds, she wants nothing more than a good score and anonymity. But when she steals a mysterious glowing orb, she accidentally slips into the last place she should ever be: the Umbral Court, realm of the enigmatic Lord Azren.

Centuries old, radiating cold charisma and wielding the power of fading starlight, Azren is bound by secrets as ancient and dangerous as the cosmos itself. His glowing tattoos mark him as a being of immense power, yet he is tethered to the Heart’s decay. When he catches Sylvi with the orb – a vital fragment of the dying star – he spares her life, intrigued by her chaotic power and unexpected defiance.

Forced into a reluctant alliance, they embark on a desperate journey to return the fragment to the Heart’s volatile core. Through treacherous slipstream currents, battles with star-born predators, and confrontations with ancient forces, their sharp banter deepens into a dangerous attraction. Sylvi, the anomaly who defies worlds, finds herself drawn to the starlord who embodies cosmic order, even as his secrets threaten to shatter them both.

But the Heart isn't the only danger. Shadowy attackers wield chaotic energies, ancient artifacts like the mysterious Voidheart surface from forgotten corners of the void, and Sylvi discovers her 'glitch' might be far more significant than she ever imagined. As Azren fights his own inevitable fading, and Sylvi grapples with powers she can barely comprehend, they must decide if trusting each other is a bigger gamble than letting the universe collapse.

Perfect for fans of sweeping romantasy like Fourth Wing and From Blood and Ash, Veil of Stars and Secrets blends breathtaking world-building, high-stakes adventure, and a sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance where a dying star isn't the only thing generating heat. Dive into a universe of celestial magic, ancient secrets, and a love that could either save the multiverse or tear it apart.
