Follow along with book #1 of Morningstar with this novella.
As Christian Morningstar and Kathryn Dawnbrought wrestle troubles of their own, the world of Ditellia is suffering the neglectful reign of their Godking, Mikael. More of the Elite Guard, world-building and further description of the magic system, hierarchy and provinces.
Astaroth Lightmoor, the Black Archer and Vesperish Quixley, whom he calls Sunkiller, pair up to stop The Serpent Treaty, an infamous radical group.
While Astaroth is terribly obsessed with his vicious Sunkiller, she does not return the sentiment. Vesper is vain, selfish and bloodthirsty. The walls around her heart, built high. Only... the Archer does not miss his targets, and he has his sights set on that guarded heart of hers.
"The Captain had once remarked that Astaroth Lightmoor was the bulk of his sins incarnate. At the time, it had sounded like a jest, ominously spoken, and easily forgotten. It was only when Astaroth had seen the true breadth of Christian Morningstar’s sins that he finally understood what he had meant."
Dual POV's. First person into third, true to all the Morningstar series by yours truly.
