Dangerous magic. Fateful choices. Broken promises. The spellbinding series by New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer continues.

The King's Courier Tycho has made a treacherous bargain. Now beholden to the magical scraver who saved King Gray's life, one false move could end everything.

Jax escaped his life in Briarlock and traveled with Tycho to Emberfall. But life outside his small village brings unexpected challenges--and unlikely adversaries.

After years of hating the royal family and their magic, Callyn never expected to be at the Queen's side, with magic on her fingertips. But at the royal court, she can't trust anyone--including the man she thought she loved.

Cast apart, Tycho, Jax, and Callyn must learn to wield the magic that is dividing their kingdom. As the magical scravers attack from the north and the king's rivals gain strength, time is running out.

War is looming. Love is tested. And magic could be the only answer. . .

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.
