Captain Aris Solene leads her loyal crew aboard the Zephira Dawn, a small but battle-hardened team shaped by conflict, betrayal, and unbreakable bonds. When they land on Velmora, a planet shrouded in forbidden jungles and fragmented data, what begins as a routine survey turns into something far more dangerous. The planet is alive and buried within its roots is a power the corrupt Olyssian Accord is desperate to control.
But Velmora is only the beginning.
A second world, volatile and volcanic, holds deeper truths and greater threats. As the crew ventures further, they uncover a myth older than the stars themselves and a secret that could reshape the galaxy.
With an empire closing in and ancient forces awakening, Aris must keep her crew united as everything around them begins to fracture. Trust is tested. Desire ignites. And in the midst of cosmic war, an intense romance sparks into a fierce love triangle that could either save them or tear them apart.
And somewhere among the chaos, a certain sharp-tongued, feline-like companion might just turn to you, the reader, and question whether any of this was ever fate at all.
Oath to a Withered Star is the first book in the Starborne Duology, a sweeping space opera where myth meets science, passion collides with duty, and even the boundaries of story itself begin to break.
