Nor The Moon But The Polaris

Seraphina Nightingale Nightshade was never the heroine. She wasn’t the villainess either—just a disposable step-sister, murdered by the brother who lost everything when the true heroine rejected him.

She should have stayed dead.

But in a world where magic means survival and only the rare-born Mer can bear life, Seraphina’s soul was never meant to rot in silence. She was a sealed god in human skin—until someone broke her cage.

Now she’s back. Time fractures. Fate howls. And the girl who once died unnoticed rises to unmake the story that discarded her.

By her side are the forgotten men—each bound by secrets, sins, and promises they were never allowed to keep. She is their moon, yes. But she is no gentle light. She is Polaris—the cold star that guides hunters through the dark.

Pray you are not her prey.
