A Curse of Stars and Storms
A Brother’s Best Friend Fae Fantasy Romance
She has death at her fingertips. He’s off-limits, but he might be the only thing that grounds her storm.
River Waterborn is the daughter of a Representative. She was born to immense privilege and is cursed with immeasurable power.
For the past eight years, she’s been trying to atone for the Incident. No matter how many lives she saves or patients she heals, she’ll never truly be able to escape the weight of her magic.
One night, she loses two patients, and her control breaks. She runs from the hospital to seek the help of the only man she trusts: Nikhail Galebringer.
Nikhail is more than just a powerful air fae who happens to be nearby. He’s also her brother’s best friend and is strictly forbidden.
River believes herself to be cursed. She cannot be in a relationship with anyone, especially not the handsome fae she’s flirted with for years. She is a bringer of death, and she must remember that.
But keeping Nikhail at arm’s length gets more difficult with each passing day. Soon, River is left asking if Cursed Ones can find love, or will she forever be alone with her storm?
A Curse of Stars and Storms is the first book in the next duology in The Choosing Chronicles. Book 2 will have a guaranteed HEA. This duology should be read after A Game of Love and Betrayal, and A Heart of Desire and Deceit.
There will be three duologies in total.
The series
In a world where love is as unpredictable as the magic that courses through its veins, The Choosing Chronicles offers a dark and thrilling journey through power, deception, and desire. At the heart of this series is Brynleigh, a vampire haunted by a past marked by pain and loss. Her thirst for vengeance drives her into the dangerous world of The Choosing, a mysterious and high-stakes competition where contestants are blindfolded to choose their partner—and never know exactly who they will end up with.
Read full series description
Brynleigh’s mission is clear: infiltrate the Choosing, make Ryker Waterborn fall in love with her, and exact her revenge on the day they marry. But nothing goes according to plan. As she gets closer to Ryker, the lines between love and hate blur, and emotions become as dangerous as the political games they both play. Ryker isn’t just the son of a powerful fae representative—he’s a pawn in a larger game, one that neither of them is truly prepared for.
The Choosing itself is more than just a backdrop. It’s a game of secrets, where alliances shift like the winds, and betrayal is as much a part of the process as the promises of love. Each choice Brynleigh makes pulls her deeper into a web of manipulation, where she’s forced to question who the real enemies are—and whether her thirst for revenge is clouding her judgment.
As The Choosing Chronicles unfolds, themes of identity, trust, and redemption resonate throughout the pages. It’s a story that isn’t just about vengeance, but about discovering the true cost of love—and whether it’s worth the price.
With its lush world-building, complex characters, and unpredictable twists, this series is perfect for fans of dark fantasy, slow-burn romance, and stories where every choice could be the difference between salvation or damnation. Whether you’re drawn to tales of forbidden love or the allure of mysterious supernatural realms, The Choosing Chronicles pulls you into a world where nothing is ever as it seems, and the heart is as dangerous as the magic that controls it.
