A Life-Changing Encounter with Magic, Romance, and Danger
Ethan is drowning in corporate burnout and heartache. Seeking escape, he retreats to the peaceful isolation of Parkfield, a quiet town in central California, hoping to heal. But his sabbatical takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious creature crashes into his front yard—Star, a being of pure magic, stranded in a world devoid of it.
With no memory of who—or what—she is, Star longs to become human. She forms a human body to live in and, with Ethan’s help, starts navigating this modern world. But the closer they get, the more their chemistry intensifies, leading to a heated pancake-making lesson and a flirtatious game of pool. As passion simmers, their fragile connection is put to the test when an ancient sea monster attacks their cabin, narrowly sparing their lives.
Suddenly, they find themselves trapped in a cosmic horror’s twisted game, with Star as the prey. As they flee, hunted by both mythical creatures and a shadowy secret society, Ethan and Star race toward San Francisco for answers. But time is running out. If they don’t survive, Star’s magic will be consumed by a brutal hunter, gaining unimaginable power.
Ethan faces an agonizing choice: run and protect the woman he loves, or fight against impossible odds to save her and stop an ancient evil from rising.
This paranormal romance blends magic, suspense, and high-stakes adventure in a heart-pounding journey of survival, love, and sacrifice. If you love fantasy with a dose of cosmic horror, intense chemistry, and supernatural creatures, this book is for you.
