Deceit and DaRkness
Celestial Whispers duology Book 2
The stars have fallen. With war on the horizon, the only way out is through death itself.
The stars’ conquest is in full force, and their leader, Rigil, will stop at nothing to subjugate all of humanity. In the midst of their grief, Iyana and her companions must turn to the gods for guidance, and they’re not all welcoming to mortals.
Only the first Aztia can teach Iyana how to banish the stars once again. But the only way to reach them is to send an emissary to the afterlife, and there’s no guarantee the gods won’t get to them first.
Meanwhile, Rigil’s reign of terror is only spreading, and he’s hells-bent on ending any chance of retribution. When Altair is tasked with hunting Iyana down, his loyalties are put to the ultimate test. As intense as ever, he’s no one’s slave. But what does that mean when he’s commanded to kill his former lover?
An unforeseen ally. A willing sacrifice. A voyage into the unknown.
Can destiny overcome deceit? Or will humanity fall next?

“Most FMCs in books are ready to drop everything and pick up a sword and I really align with FMCs that are softer. This is why I like Iyana so much as well as the novella “Powerful” the powerless story of Pae’s roomie and best friend. Don’t get me wrong, I love a strong strong FMC ready to let the world burn but I know I would never be like that, and love that she has other ambitions she needs to sacrifice.. makes it way more real, and relatable! Letting something go for the sake of others is the ultimate strength and power and is not highlighted enough in Fantasy.”

“Final thoughts...5 stars EASILY. I just appreciate your story so much, and I think this is my favorite out of the two books. I'm amazed at how heartfelt and full your story felt in just two books. I can't help but compare the companionship I feel towards these characters and the story like I do with my favorites, like Harry Potter, KoA, and ACOTAR. I'm not ready to say goodbye to these characters, but I know their time has end to make way for your next project. I cannot wait for the rest of the world to read book 2. Thank you for allowing me to beta read your art. I can't wait to promote the shit out of it and annoy everyone I know into reading it.”
