I've belonged to you far longer than you know, Princess. ✨
When duty collides with destiny, love might tear her world apart.
Princess Raea Tierson has spent eleven years within the halls of Drithm Academy, training among the stars to prepare for her future–one she’s always imagined bonded to her best friend, Kellan. Their magical Lumos Bond has been slowly growing, and she’s certain it’s only a matter of time before fate confirms what her heart already knows.
But everything changes when she reaches the Executive Order and is assigned to Taeolyn dorm under the leadership of the Academy’s dark prince–Anders “Ryker” Rykerson.
Brooding, untouchable, and soon to be crowned heir, Anders has never let anyone too close–until Raea. As her dorm leader and newly assigned escort, Anders finds himself fighting a bond he can't want but can no longer deny. She’s the one person he’s forbidden to love…and the only one who makes him feel alive.
As the veil protecting their system begins to weaken and whispers of war stir across the galaxy, Raea must make an impossible choice: hold fast to the boy she’s always loved, or embrace a future written in the stars with the one man who could shatter everything she thought she knew.
Loyalties will be tested. Hearts will be broken. And a bond foretold may be the only thing that can save them all.
Emily Barlow had always been one to play it safe until she made a decision that would shake her entire world. Turning down a prestigious role at her family’s billion-dollar corporation, she seeks a fresh start in the picturesque town of Pacifi Coves. But just as she begins to settle into her new life, an unexpected twist threatens to upend everything she thought she wanted.
Caught in a web of complicated emotions, Emily catches the eye of Grey Stanley, the town’s most eligible bachelor. But as their chemistry sizzles, Emily can’t help but hold back, haunted by the past and the return of her high school sweetheart, Brooks Devonshire. Determined to make things right and reclaim the love he lost, Brooks seeks forgiveness and a second chance with Emily.
As their past and present collide, Emily and Brooks are forced to confront their shared history of love and heartache and the challenges of rekindling a love that never truly died. With the added pressure of running a billion-dollar company, and navigating a devastating loss, can Emily and Brooks overcome the obstacles in their way and build a future together, realizing that true strength lies in facing life’s challenges together? Or will their past mistakes and expectations tear them apart once again?
This heartwarming and emotional journey of second chances will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. If you loved the second-chance romance of Nicholas Sparks’ The Notebook, you won’t want to miss this heartwarming tale of love, forgiveness, and new beginnings.
“I have experienced my highest highs and lowest lows with you, and through it all, you were my beacon, guiding me, grounding me. I have known life without you, and I never want that again. I want to spend every second of forever with you, choosing you each day. Loving you and putting your needs above my own.”

The way I’m obsessed with this book! Raea and Ryker officially have my heart and soul. The world building in this book is intricate, detailed, and so well done and intriguing. I’ve never read a romantasy taking place in space, but it was a beautiful blend with my love for science fiction.

There are literally not enough stars to give this book. It was that good! When I get a book that has multiple maps and guides, that tells me the world building is going to be fantastic and I'm in for a journey.
Imagine an academy setting as rich in world building as Hogwarts or Basgiath, BUT it's in space. Welcome to Drithm Academy.
