LOGINCeleste Winters was born chosen, marked by the Moon Goddess, destined for power, and tied to a future she never fully wanted. But when a cursed moonstone dagger strikes her down, it doesn’t just nearly kill her; it erases her. Her memories vanish, her bond to her mate is severed, and the power that once defined her is ripped away, leaving behind someone unrecognizable, even to herself. In a desperate attempt to save her, those closest to her turn to the Moonwell, an ancient force said to heal what cannot be fixed. The water answers, but not with mercy. Instead of restoring Celeste, it changes her. What the moonstone stole, it replaced, twisting something inside her into its opposite. Now, Celeste is caught in a battle she cannot control. One moment, she seems almost like herself, quiet, distant, but there. The next, something darker takes over. The air around her grows heavy, her presence sharp and unfamiliar, and the world itself begins to react to her in ways it never has before. She knows something is wrong, but trying to remember only causes pain, forcing her further into the unknown version of herself she’s becoming. As the truth unfolds, it becomes clear that the moonstone obeyed an ancient balance, stripping her of her light and replacing it with darkness. And now, that darkness is winning. With time running out, Silas must find a way to reach the girl he lost before she’s gone for good. Because if Celeste fully becomes what the moonstone made her… There may be nothing left to save.

The next few days passed slowly.The castle had settled into an uncomfortable rhythm ever since Celeste woke up, everyone moving carefully around the situation without ever truly relaxing into it. The archives remained occupied almost constantly now, meals were often forgotten until servants practically forced them onto tables, and conversations throughout the halls lowered whenever someone mentioned Celeste’s name.No one said it out loud, but the tension was becoming harder to ignore, because despite all the searching they still didn’t have answers.Only theories.Fragments.Warnings written by dead people who clearly hadn’t survived long enough to explain anything useful and meanwhile, Celeste continued changing in ways no one fully understood.The frost had become more frequent.Not dramatic enough yet to truly alarm anyone outside the family, but noticeable. Cups chilled too quickly in her hands. Candles dimmed when she passed too close to them. Flowers left near her room never s
By the next morning, the archives looked worse than they had the night before.Books covered nearly every available surface now, stacked across tables, floors, chairs, and even the windowsills where Victoria had started leaving the ones they’d already searched through just to keep the remaining piles organized. Dust hung lightly in the air from how many old shelves had been disturbed over the last several days, and the smell of aged paper and candle wax had settled so deeply into the room that it followed anyone who left.Victoria sat at the large central table with one elbow propped against a tower of books while she skimmed through another faded text that, so far, had managed to say absolutely nothing useful in over two hundred pages.She flipped another page.Then another.Then sighed heavily before dropping her forehead briefly against the open book.“I swear if I read the phrase divine imbalance one more time, I’m setting this entire room on fire.”“You said that three books ago,
There you areThe whisper settled softly into the quiet around her, no louder than before, but closer now, clearer in a way that made it impossible to mistake for imagination anymore.Celeste stood motionless in front of the old door, her gaze tracing the faded markings carved into the dark stone around it while the cold from the lower levels crept through the corridor and curled around her skin. The deeper parts of the castle felt different from the upper floors, older somehow, heavier.She didn’t know how long she had been standing there.Long enough for the silence to settle fully around her.Long enough for the pull in her chest to grow stronger.The door itself looked old, reinforced with dark iron bands and worn carvings that had faded with time, though something about it continued to hold her attention in a way she couldn’t explain.Come closerHer fingers lifted slowly toward the handle.“Celeste!”The shout cut sharply through the corridor.She turned just as Silas appeared a
