When a silver-blade killer begins carving a trail through the city, three lives collide in ways none of them understand - and the truth waiting at the center is older than Earth itself.
Sebastian King has been a clean, precise hitman his entire life, raised under the shadow of the man the underworld calls the Dark Father. But when a contract turns into a staged ritual murder and his sister Ronnie is framed for the crime, Sebastian is forced into a hunt that leads far beyond gang borders or police lines. Someone is targeting the King family - and they know exactly how to get Sebastian's attention.
Ace Brightside has spent years trying to drown the violence inside him. The silver knives he carries feel too natural in his hands, and the emptiness pushing him toward murder is growing harder to control. Then a failed hit on a woman named Demi shakes something loose inside him - a hesitation he has never felt before. As Ace follows the pull of instinct and blood, he uncovers a truth that terrifies him: the person he is becoming was shaped long before his birth.
Detective Pines sees the pattern the others refuse to notice. The ritual wounds, the silver blades, the quiet mathematical logic behind every killing. Her investigation brings her dangerously close to the Kings, the Brightsides, and a series of ancient symbols that no human killer should understand. The deeper she digs, the more Pines realizes she is not chasing a man - she is chasing a message.
Across galaxies, an exiled heir named Oak and the one he loves, Lie, fall through the void after a betrayal that shattered their celestial family. Their exile tears a wound across worlds... and Earth is beginning to bleed.
As Sebastian, Ace, and Kayte draw closer to the truth, they uncover a collision of fate and violence stretching from the criminal underworld to the stars themselves. Some murders are personal. Some are ritual.
And some are echoes of gods who once learned to fear their own children.
WHEN STARS KILL THEIR OWN is a dark, emotional blend of crime thriller and cosmic fantasy - where every life and every death is part of a story far larger than any of them imagined.
