August Monroe never wanted war—only to cross the river and train under a world-renowned chef.
Then a Sovereign’s unchecked rage cleaved the world in two and stole the only person who ever truly knew her.
She should’ve drowned in grief.
Instead, she sharpened her knives.
When her mentor rises at the head of a growing Resistance, August refuses to stand aside. But war offers no clean lines, and patience runs thin. Desperate for answers, she infiltrates the palace of a powerful Sovereign, stepping straight into the shadows of the magic that destroyed her world.
But something ancient stirs in her blood—something the Fallen Stars would kill to possess.
In a realm unraveling with secrets, magic, and betrayal, August will stop at nothing to find the people she loves—even if it takes everything she has, and even if everyone else gives up.
Betrayal. Found Family. Feminine Rage. And a girl who refuses to break.
This is August’s story—and she’ll walk through fire to make it her own.
Auras of the Fallen Stars is for lovers of Epic and Romantic Fantasy, Found Family, Vast Worlds, Unique Magic, Political Divide, Relatable Main Characters and Feminine Rage.
Fans of Strong Character Development as seen in The Plated Prisoner Series by Raven Kennedy, Women Scorned as seen in The War of Lost Hearts Series by Carissa Broadbent, and Vast Worlds as seen in The Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J Maas will fall in love with The Descendants of the Stars Series.

August Monroe has endured more than a human woman should have to by the time they are thirty one years old.
But her story is just beginning. After escaping capture by one of the most powerful magical leaders of her world, August realizes that in order to continue to survive she’ll have to uncover the truth.
Caught in a world much larger than she could have ever imagined, August must adapt quickly, or be lost in the dark once more. Choosing to fight, she finds herself training with a woman who blames her for the imminent war, banned from her solace of the kitchen by a Sovereign she thought was her ally, searching endlessly for her missing friends, and in an internal battle over where her heart belongs.
But the voices in her head are only getting stronger, and something inside her tells her to listen.
History has been hidden from the citizens of Celestera for too long. Enemies, long since thought locked away, are set to return. Powerful beings, once thought to be fictional, come to life. The Dragons have had enough and the stars are aligning above Celestera. August may have incited the inevitable war, but it’s time for the world to know the truth.
She survived the river,
She survived the flames,
Can she survive the Truth?
