Otros por los que merece la pena matar.
Thais Morvaren tiene un secreto: oculta su capacidad para forjar armas a partir de la luz de las estrellas. Cuando sus poderes quedan al descubierto, se ve obligada a participar, junto a su hermano gemelo, en las mortales Pruebas de la Ascensión.
Atrapada en una competición en la que nunca quiso participar, transforma su miedo en determinación: matar a Olinthar, Rey de los Dioses. Pero para derribar a un dios, deberá convertirse en uno, aunque para hacerlo lo pierda todo… incluida su relación con el príncipe oscuro, cuyos secretos rivalizan con los suyos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Revenge demands the ultimate sacrifice. When twins Thais and Thatcher are thrust into the deadly Trials of Ascension, they'll navigate brutal competitions and forbidden desires, discovering some secrets are worth dying for—and others are worth killing for.
In a world where divine power bleeds into the mortal realm, Thais Morvaren has mastered the art of deception. To her seaside village, she's just a fisherman's daughter, serving oysters to summer tourists. In secret, she hides her ability to forge weapons from starlight—a power that would force her into the deadly Trials of Ascension.
But when a priest's ritual exposes her divine heritage, Thais is seized and conscripted into the trials against her will. Now trapped in a competition she never wanted to enter, she transforms her fear into purpose: to kill Olinthar, King of the Gods—the father whose divine touch proved fatal to her mother.
To take down a god, she must become one, even if it costs her everything.
Worse still, the selection ceremony binds her to a mentor: Xül. A necromancer prince with blood-soaked hands, a sharp tongue, and dark secrets of his own. From the moment they meet, sparks fly. He's insufferably arrogant, she's stubborn to the bone, and neither has any intention of yielding to the other... or to the heat between them.
Each trial survived brings her closer to godhood, but beneath the spectacle of competition, something ancient and malevolent stalks the shadows of the divine realm—a darkness that threatens to unravel the heavens themselves.
Thais may have been forced into the Trials seeking survival, but she'll finish them seeking vengeance.
And the cost of godhood is rising.
Because some stars aren't meant to be weapons.
Some stars are meant to fall.
