Steeped in Starlight

The magic is dying. And the man she loves is hiding the truth.

Elara Thornwood can taste the change.

The bread she bakes no longer hums with warmth. The magic woven through the valley is thinning... breaking... and deep beneath the ancient Moonshadow Ruins, something is tearing it apart.

When Elara creates a forbidden recipe that lets her hear the hidden currents of the Weave, she uncovers a devastating truth:

An old experiment left behind a mechanical echo in the earth. It reopens the wound every time the land tries to heal.

And someone has been trying to fix it.
Every night.
In secret.

The man she loves.

He promised her honesty. He broke that promise. Not out of betrayal but out of guilt he believes she should not have to carry.

Now the valley's magic is collapsing between its three ancient anchors, and the only way to stop it is a ritual long thought impossible:

The Mending.

Three days.
Three anchors.
Three truths that cannot be hidden.

But the hardest truth is not about magic. It is about love.

Because admitting you need someone, truly need them, might be the most dangerous thing of all.

Steeped in Starlight is a cozy fantasy romance filled with slow burn longing, magical bakery charm, and emotional healing.

Perfect for readers who love cozy fantasy, heartfelt magic, and quiet, emotionally rich romance.
