					<description><![CDATA[The first instalment of an epic romantic fantasy trilogy, charting a deadly quest through a fractured realm of light and dark magic.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8216;A <b>Tolkienesque</b> journey through a <b>gorgeous, shimmering world</b>&#8230; Venetia Constantine is a bright new star&#8217; &#8211; <b>Samantha Shannon, bestselling author of <i>The Priory of the Orange Tree</i></b></p>
<p><b>***</p>
<p><i>Leilani Stellarion is cursed.</i></b></p>
<p>The last of a ruined bloodline, she&#8217;s shunned for her volatile Starborn magic, which grants her prophetic visions but is slowly corrupting her mind. Branded a pariah, Leilani is blamed for the Sickening, a wasting curse that fractured the realms of Arcelia and plunged them into war.</p>
<p>When her dying mother&#8217;s health deteriorates and a forced marriage threatens her future, Leilani seizes the chance to reclaim her fate. A prophecy speaks of an ancient relic that could end the Sickening &#8211; and she&#8217;s determined to find it.</p>
<p>To retrieve the sceptre, she must survive the deadly climb to the Astral Mountain, forge alliances with enemies, outwit rebel forces, and navigate her own treacherous feelings for a rival envoy, which grow under the watchful eye of her betrothed.</p>
<p>Hunted by a vengeful spectre and haunted by her magic, Leilani must decide what she&#8217;s willing to sacrifice in the name of redemption &#8211; before her powers consume her.</p>
