Tonight, the stars bleed secrets—and the comet awakens a destiny no one is ready for. Every 150 years, Comet Night bathes New Orleans in fire and mystery. The city pulses with power, and in the shadows of White Ash Woods, something ancient begins to stir. Dahlia Greene isn’t your average sixteen-year-old. She’s fearless. Fierce. And ever since her birthday—Halloween night—something inside her has shifted. Her dreams burn with strange symbols. Her skin prickles under moonlight. And worst of all, she can feel things now—desires that don’t belong to her, voices whispering truths she’s not ready to face. When a hypnotic green light slashes through the forest canopy, calling to her with a voice only she can hear, Dahlia steps closer to a fate written in blood and shadow. Rose Bennett, Dahlia’s loyal and intuitive best friend, watches in horror as Dahlia’s emerald eyes glow with a power not of this world. Rose knows Dahlia has changed—but what terrifies her more is that something out there is calling to her too. As Dahlia uncovers the truth of who she really is—a fallen witch, reborn under the cursed star—she’s torn between two dangerous choices: surrender to the hunger within, or fight the pull of a dark, seductive force that promises to make her queen… at a terrible cost. In a world where magic is hidden in plain sight and bloodlines carry ancient secrets, Dahlia must navigate betrayal, lust, and the twisted fate written in her soul. And when a mysterious, devastatingly beautiful stranger appears—one who seems to know everything about her magic, her past, and her darkest desires—Dahlia’s world explodes in ways she never imagined. He says she was born to fall… But what if falling is just the beginning?
