Starlight and Shadow

Synopsis

After a public scandal destroys her career, Elira flees to Rainharbor—a storm-drenched town where the only constant is the rain and a strange bookstore no one can explain. The Rainy-Day Bookstore isn’t listed anywhere. Its patrons wear velvet cloaks, vanish without a trace, and never come back out the front door. When Elira finally enters, she’s drawn into a world that defies logic—a realm where kingdoms are bound to fading magic, and time flows like starlight through shadow. There, Prince Thalen wrestles with duty, betrayal, and a magic growing weaker by the day. Torn between saving his kingdom and resisting an unwanted political marriage, he never expected a stubborn, heartbroken woman from another world to upend everything. As Elira searches for the truth behind the realms—and her own past—she forms bonds with a royal family on the brink of war, a scarred warrior afraid to love again, and a magic long thought lost. But the deeper she goes, the clearer it becomes: the greatest stories rewrite themselves. And Elira’s is only just beginning.
