Star Pointe

by Deja Colleen

There is only one question to answer in The StarBound What Game Are You Playing?

She came to compete, to dance beneath the spotlight and earn her victory one pirouette at a time.

Or so she thought.

Instead of performing for judges, she finds herself instead competing in an entirely different game. A game of flesh and sensuality as she is auctioned off to the highest bidder, a man who never came for the competition at all.

He is playing a far more dangerous game, one where losing could cost him everything.

Her dance is intoxicating, his axe merciless, the dancer and the executioner thrown together in a world where desire and violence blur into one.

And as the lines between captor and saviour begin to shatter, only one can answer what StarBound asks.

About the author

Deja Colleen is the dark mind behind the House of Claws & Chaos, writing carnal splatterpunk and dark monster romance for readers who love their horror extreme, their monsters lethal, and their romance beautifully depraved. In her worlds, the monsters aren’t always the villains, the heroines bite back, and love is as dangerous as the shadows surrounding it. Her stories blend mystery, horror, humour, and high-stakes tension with morally grey characters, found family, impossible choices, and enough emotional damage to keep everyone on their toes.

Whether she’s unleashing ancient monsters, deadly games, or obsessive heroes who would burn the world for the woman they love, one thing is certain—happy endings are earned through blood, chaos, and heartbreak.

When she’s not plotting new ways to emotionally torment her characters, she’s usually buried in books, collecting monster art, or convincing herself that this next story definitely won’t get out of hand.
