Description
When perfect faith collides with imperfect gods, a priestess must choose between loyalty and truth.
Echo has spent years training as a priestess on an isolated temple island, preparing for the greatest honour imaginable: serving the Starborn, the divine rulers blessed by the Zodiac.
But when she finally enters their world, everything she believed begins to unravel.The Starborn are not wise… They are not noble… And they will do anything to keep their power.
Drawn into an antique world of political intrigue, dangerous alliances, forbidden luxury, and ancient secrets, Echo must decide where her loyalty truly lies. Will she cling to the faith that shaped her...or help destroy the very religion that rules her world?
The Constellations of Power is the first novel in The Lost Stars Series - an epic fantasy featuring a unique zodiac-based religion, ancient Greek-inspired worldbuilding, elemental magic, rebellion, and memorable characters.
If you loved The Hunger Games, Red Rising or stories where faith, power, and destiny collide, begin your journey among the stars.
Review quotes from Goodreads:
“I take it as a sign from the stars, because this book was a really refreshing take on astrology, power, and indoctrination.”
“Going into this book, I expected a fairly typical YA fantasy, but it quickly became so much more.”
“The world blends fantasy, astrology, and hints of science fiction in a way that feels fresh and different from most YA novels. The zodiac-inspired power system was easily my favourite part of the book, adding an extra layer of depth to both the worldbuilding and the conflicts.”
“It was such a fresh take on YA dystopia!”

A Note From the Publisher
Since 2023, I have dedicated myself to writing immersive fantasy stories and poetry. So far, I have self-published two books: a fantasy novel The Edge of Destiny, and a poetry book Of Love, Life and Literature. You can find me on TikTok posting regularly to 1000+ followers. When I am not creating fantasy worlds or composing poetry, I enjoy tabletop games, museums, and traveling the world for inspiration. I currently live in Düsseldorf, Germany.
