A forbidden magic, a murder in the Zodiac ranks, a marriage of obligation, and a heroine who might be the most dangerous secret in the Celestial Realm.

Elara Hawthorne thought she was ordinary—until the Celestial Institute summons her to compete for the role of Guardian of the Sagittarius Stone, a position left vacant after a shocking murder.

There’s just one problem:

Elara isn’t supposed to have magic.

And the magic she does have—the forbidden kind written out of history—could get her killed.

Now every Guardian in the Zodiac wants answers, including the dangerously magnetic Leo Guardian sent to fetch her. And the one person standing in her way?

Her infuriating husband, Hideo Toru—Serendal’s deadliest Sentinel, the man sworn to protect her… and the man hiding the truth about who she really is.

As secrets unravel and constellations stir, Elara must decide:

Run from the destiny hunting her—or claim the power written in her blood.
