In the kingdom of Eldoris, where magic flows like rivers and the stars whisper secrets, a long-forgotten prophecy awakens. Princess Lyra, heir to the throne, bears a celestial mark that binds her fate to the rise or fall of the kingdom. When a powerful curse threatens to plunge Eldoris into eternal darkness, Lyra must embark on a perilous journey to break it. Guided by an exiled sorcerer and a rogue warrior, she ventures into the unknown, where betrayal lurks in the shadows and ancient forces stir. Will she uncover the truth behind the prophecy and save her kingdom, or will she succumb to the celestial curse?

THE CELESTIAL CURSE

The Betrayal of the Stars

The stars shimmered coldly above as Lyra and her companions emerged from the Veil, their bodies aching from the ordeal. The celestial guardians had granted them passage, but the trial had left Lyra shaken. The vision of her dark self still lingered in her mind—a whisper of a fate she could not allow to come true.

Kael rode beside her, his expression unreadable. "You saw something in the trial," he murmured. "Something you're not telling us."

Lyra's fingers tightened on the reins. "It doesn't matter."

"It does," Alden interjected, his voice firm. "We need to trust each other, Lyra. If you're hiding something—"

"Enough," Selene cut in, her eyes scanning the horizon. "We're being followed."

From the shadows emerged a cloaked figure. "Princess Lyra," he said smoothly. "We have been expecting you."
