When shadows threaten Kira Savage in our world, she has no choice but to escape through a strange door in the woods, which leads her to the Realm of Camellia...
From the back of Book 1, The Starless Girl: Kira Savage is cursed.
A tragic loss. A new town. And now creatures made of darkness are after her.
But amid the darkness, she begins to see a mysterious white light all around her, one that leads her to a strange door in the woods. With a dark creature on her heels, she has no choice but to go through. Kira finds herself in a realm of light and shadow: the Realm of Camellia.
Here, Kira can learn to harness Light magic to protect herself, which she'll need to learn fast because there's more dark creatures coming. And they seem drawn to her.
When a local spirit promises answers about Kira's murky past, she gets caught up in the dangerous path of the decades-long feud between Light and Shadow magic.
Will she find the answers about her past? Or will darkness consume the realm?

I loved this story! We start with a young Kira who runs from a monster in her world into a brand new realm. She is thrust into magic, which she didn't know was part of her blood. But our Starless Girl doesn't back down, she fully embraces this new world and all that comes with it.
This is an omnibus, so it contains four books in one, which is awesome because you get the full breadth of Kira's growth and magic. I loved this story and the way that you grew along with Kira and also experienced her ups and downs. She is a magical force to be reckoned with, and I loved it when she fully realized that.
It is so beautifully written by the end I was so invested in the Starless Lady and her friends that I truly wasn't ready for it to end. The author did a fantastic job weaving a captivating story without it dragging too far into the YA trappings that get many other books in the same genres. I was sad for the story to end, but so glad that it ended so well!
What an ending! This book was epic and wonderful and absolutely fantastic! A perfect ending for this astounding series! The stakes were high, the emotion was high, and the satisfaction was high with how everything turned out! I loved this whole series so so so much!
