A girl with cursed blood. 
A boy destined to drain her to death. 
A destiny made to be broken. 

He's after her. 

Just one bite,
One drop, 
One  dark power,
A curse of a lifetime.

Stella, the daughter of the stars, is a divinity doomed to die and be reborn every fifty years. Each time she is resurrected, she is sent back into human society to await her inevitable doom. On the other hand, as a young adult who has fallen in love with a shapeshifter by mistake, she begins to doubt the destinies and resist the destined path that has been set out for her. Can she protect the lives of the people she cares about from the world where kismet controls everyone's beginning and end when she can barely protect herself?

A Star's Destiny

The ground seemed to quake beneath my feet. My toes were numb from the cold. As my nerves and restlessness increased, I almost stopped noticing the soil's roughness against my bare feet. Terror filled my mind and body. 


For a while, I considered fleeing. I was so anxious to escape the shadowy sorcerer that I almost ran. I had only walked a short distance when I saw what looked like a comet encased in light crashing toward me. An object that seemed like a stone but was actually coated in thorns and fire smacked me in the face. When I stood up, the pain in my right leg was so bad that I almost started wheezing. 


I overheard a young voice remark, "You can't get away from a black sorcerer, Stella." The assurance in his voice suggested that he believed what he was saying. Behind me, I could sense his body.
