The Stars Are Dying by Chloe C. Peñaranda | First Edition Special Edition Hardback | Stencilled Edges

Astraea remembers only fragments of the last five years of her life. Kept secluded under the control of a tyrannical man and desperate to uncover the truth about her past, she knows she has to escape.

Then she meets Nyte — mysterious, beautiful, deadly and possibly one of the very vampires she's been taught to fear.

Their bargain offers Astraea a chance at freedom, but soon she finds herself drawn into the Libertatem, a brutal series of trials in which five human kingdoms compete for protection from the vampires that hunt after dark.

When tragedy forces Astraea to take another competitor's place, she must risk her life not only for her kingdom, but for the answers she's been searching for.

And all the while, her dangerous attraction to Nyte grows stronger…

A dark, star-crossed romantasy loosely inspired by the Greek myth of Astraea and the fall of the Golden Age, with vampires, trials, secrets, lost memories and a very morally questionable love interest.
