All's fair in love, war . . . and magic.

When Tycho, the King's Courier, arrives in the remote village of Briarlock, he wants only to escape the demands of his new life in the royal court, where magic reigns for the first time in ages. The last thing he expects is to fall for a handsome blacksmith with a bruised heart.

After years of toil under his father's cruel hand, Jax never dared to dream of a better life. When rumors of a rebellion reach their small forge, he begins to wonder if he'll even survive--until a magic-wielding young lord offers him an enticing escape.

Jax's best friend, Callyn, doesn't trust this mysterious new friend. Magic once killed her parents, and she would do anything to protect Jax. But when another powerful man arrives from the capital, seeking her help, Callyn will be forced to question everything she thought she knew about magic--and herself.

War is brewing. Love is blooming. And magic may doom--or save--them all . . .

Forging Silver into Stars

The series

Full series details →

In the quiet villages beyond Emberfall, where whispers of magic are enough to ignite fear—and rebellion brews just beneath the surface—Forging Silver into Stars unfolds a story not of grand heroes, but of ordinary people pulled into extraordinary danger. Set in the same richly imagined world as the Cursebreaker series, this companion story doesn’t retread old paths. Instead, it widens the lens, stepping beyond castles and curses to explore the delicate, dangerous balance between loyalty and resistance, truth and illusion.

Read full series description

This is a tale where magic isn’t just power—it’s peril. The tension hums through the cobbled streets and ink-stained letters, through the alliances forged in shadow and the betrayals that cut deeper than blades. The heart of the story lies not in thrones or war strategies, but in its characters: flawed, fiercely human, and caught between what they know and what they believe in. Here, blacksmiths carry secrets heavier than iron, and letters become weapons sharper than any sword.

What sets this series apart is its grounded approach to epic fantasy. It's intimate, raw, and quietly revolutionary—a reminder that sometimes the biggest uprisings begin not with armies, but with friendship, fractured trust, and the quiet resolve to do what’s right in a world where that’s anything but simple.

Laced with political intrigue, forbidden magic, and a slow-burning intensity that builds with every chapter, Forging Silver into Stars is for readers who crave fantasy that doesn’t just dazzle, but lingers—like smoke after a spark, or a secret kept too long.
