Next Book: Be The Music

An ancient sorcerer going after Death's head, Bel'Free once occupied the center of Ulnarone with a powerful star who would aid him. Before Death could vanquish the star, three of the ancient Gods, Sei'Dansa, Sol'Mano and Bel'Free hid her from sight, deep in space in a constellation. To him, it seemed she was less powerful hidden behind a veil of condensed clouds. But he wasn't satisfied. Death demanded that Bel'Free split his soul infinitely, allowing the citizens of Ulnarone their own familiars. Belfree, now weakened, made a Deal with Death.

"If you take me instead of my star, I'll give you all the souls in Ulnarone."

The bitter slave of an ancient sorcerer, Osric desires only to have someone by his side. His plan is the following: find a happy man in a stable relationship.

That’s why he enlists his daughter, Stella, a Fear Gorta with trypophobia and dark freckles. She finds the couple, convinces them their love is worthless and then Osric steps in.

But she will only have the power to help her mother when she can see the value in herself.
