Stolen Shadows

Book Two

Somewhere between realms, something sacred tugs at two hearts, neither daring to reach for it, neither willing to let it go.

The stars remember what the shadows try to steal. Liora survived the sacrifice that should have shattered her, but survival is not the same as freedom. The curse that once anchored her soul is gone, leaving behind a hollow ache and a silence that feels... wrong. Something lingers in its absence. Something unfinished.
As the Star Realm begins to fracture under the weight of ancient secrets, the borders between realms grow thin. Whispers bleed through the dark, of a power bound in pain rather than love, of a curse that should have ended but didn't. And of a presence Liora cannot see, yet feels watching from the shadows she was never meant to touch.
There are echoes there, fragments of souls, memories that refuse to fade, and shadows that were stolen long before they were ever lost. Drawn toward truths hidden beyond the veil, Liora is forced to confront a fate intertwined with darkness that does not seek to destroy her... but bind her.
With enemies closing in and the past demanding its price, Liora must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice once more. Because some bonds do not break cleanly. Some curses do not end when a heart stops beating.
And some shadows were never meant to be left behind.
