Starless

I came to Nightborn Academy to learn what I was.
I stayed because the stars were dying… and I was the only one who could see it.

My whole life, I’d been wrong. Wrong birth. Wrong sky. Wrong girl standing at the edge of a world that didn’t want her. When a freak incident at my lighthouse sent a column of starlight screaming across the Norwegian Sea, the Headmistress of a floating citadel appeared and told me I had a choice: come learn the truth—or wait for worse people to come asking.

I chose the academy.

At Nightborn, every student is claimed by a constellation. Zodiac magic is birthright, bloodline, power. And me? The founding stone pulsed with void energy the moment I stepped onto the dais. No sign claimed me. The whispers started before I left the hall: Voidborn.

Cursed. Magicless. Dangerous.

Then there were the four Zodiac Princes who ruled this place… and couldn’t seem to leave me alone:

Atlas — Scorpio’s shadow prince, who watched me like a threat and whose darkness kept reaching for me against his will.
Phelan — Leo’s golden heir, who burned so bright for the world that no one noticed how dim he was for himself.
Jasper — Capricorn’s stone-cold commander, who trained me without mercy and reinforced my walls without being asked.
Idris — Aquarius’s brilliant eccentric, who couldn’t read my mind and found the silence more addictive than any thought.

I told myself I could handle the hostility, the politics, the ancient prophecy carved into the academy’s founding stone that said I’d destroy everything.

But my power had other ideas. I didn’t just absorb starlight. I consumed it. And when I accidentally drained a student’s entire celestial signature in front of the whole school, the prophecy stopped being a warning and started looking like a promise.

Four princes stood between me and a mob that wanted me dead. Four bonds I never asked for, pulling me toward men who should have feared me most.

And beneath it all, a truth no one was ready to hear:

The prophecy said I would end them. The dying stars said I was the only one who could save them. And the void inside me didn’t care which one was true.
