The Crown Prince of the Falling Stars

The night Cora Bellrose delivers a flower crown to the palace, it awakens in the hands of the crown prince-and the sky begins to fail. Cora is only a flower crown apprentice from the lower islands of Virelia, a glittering sky kingdom held together by ancient star routes. She was never meant to stand beside royalty. She was never meant to touch forbidden magic. And she was certainly never meant to become the one person Crown Prince Julian Asterbourne refuses to let go.
But when the star routes fracture during the Starfall festival, ships fall from the sky, old stations stir, and a secret hidden in Cora's mother's weaving begins to answer Julian's bloodline. The palace wants answers. The ministers want control. The failing kingdom wants a sacrifice. Julian is everything Cora should avoid: royal, unreachable, bound by duty, and watched by enemies who would rather see the truth buried.
Yet the more they follow the broken routes aboard the royal skyship Lumina, the more dangerous their connection becomes. Her crown magic responds to him. His fate pulls her deeper into palace intrigue, lost star stations, and a past powerful people tried to erase. In a world of floating islands, royal secrets, slow-burn romance, forbidden class lines, and star magic, one apprentice may hold the key to saving the sky.
But if Cora becomes the prince's answer, what will the kingdom demand from her in return?
