The young princess Elara lives in a world ruled by stars, powerful yet merciless gods – and these gods have cursed her. An ancient prophecy states that Elara will one day fall in love with a star, and that this love will cost them both their lives. The god of war and wrath then descends from the heavens and destroys Elara's home, the Kingdom of Night. She manages to escape and unexpectedly finds refuge in the rival Kingdom of Light. The price for her life: Prince Lorenzo is to turn Elara, who is barely aware of her magic, into a weapon capable of bringing down the brutal gods. But in the Kingdom of Light, there are also shadows, and one of them hides Lorenzo's darkest secret.
