Stars Fall First

A Star-Crossed Romantasy of Fate, Forbidden Power, and Enemies-to-Lovers Romance

Nova Castaneda was never supposed to touch fate.

A Drifter in a world ruled by cosmic algorithms, Nova survives by keeping her head down—working impossible hours, paying impossible medical bills, and pretending she doesn't see the cracks in reality that everyone else ignores. The stars whisper to her. She refuses to listen.

Until one night, the universe listens back.

A single act of forbidden power exposes Nova as something the Celestial Courts thought they had eradicated centuries ago: a Starweaver—someone who can rewrite fate itself. Someone dangerous. Someone who must be erased.

They send Nightfall.

Cael Nightfall is the Courts' perfect executioner. Bound by duty, scarred by centuries of sanctioned violence, and promised freedom only after one final kill, he has never failed an assignment. Nova should be no different—just another anomaly to eliminate.

Except fate fractures.

A catastrophic encounter binds Nova and Cael together in an illegal soul-bond neither of them can break. Suddenly, her fear is his. His doubt is hers. And the lines between enemy and protector blur into something far more dangerous: choice.

Hunted by the Celestial Courts. Chased by the consequences of rewritten destinies. Trapped between a power that costs Nova pieces of her past and a love that could destroy Cael's last chance at redemption, they must decide whether fate is a prison… or a weapon.

Because if the stars are going to fall—

They'll fall for them first.
