He was born to uphold the law.
He was erased from the sky.
Together, they could rewrite the stars.
When a fallen star tears a wound in the heavens, Sky-Judge Cael Ardent is told what House Scales has always believed: if the world is to survive, someone must bleed to seal the breach.
Then the Church drags Rian Vayne into his courtroom.
Chained in iron and marked by forbidden magic, Rian is the last living heir of the Thirteenth constellation-a starline erased from history, outlawed by doctrine, and feared by every House in the realm. The Chorus calls him a monster. Cael sees something far more dangerous: the missing piece of a broken sky.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, Cael and Rian are drawn into a conspiracy of cursed sigils, holy lies, and a crater called Starfall, where the world itself is beginning to come apart. Villages are forgetting their own names. The heavens are cracking open. And the prophecy Cael was raised to obey may have been rewritten by the very men who claim to protect it.
As suspicion sharpens into desire, and desire into something fierce enough to survive the end of the world, Cael and Rian uncover the truth: the sky was never meant to be saved by one clean sacrifice. To heal what was broken, they must stand together-Scales and Serpent, judge and heretic, duty and hunger-and restore the star that should never have been cut away.
But if they fail, the wound in the sky will devour not only the stars...
but memory, history, and everyone they love.
Scales of the Thirteenth Star is an adult M/M romantasy featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, forbidden magic, found family, political intrigue, and a heat-laced love story beneath a shattered heaven.
