In Astraea, a bioluminescent city shaped by star worship, inventor and occultist Lucia Fairfax draws luck from a realm known as the Otherside. After a failed ritual and her husband’s death leave her fortune depleted, another attempt brings her face to face with Altair, a cosmic being tied to an ancient constellation. Their connection opens a passage into his realm, where Lucia confronts the source and limits of her powers alongside the dangers of desire and ambition. The setup combines dark romance with occult invention and an otherworldly conflict, framing love and power as forces that carry consequences.

Book overview

She summoned him for luck. He wants her for eternity. An inventor and a star-born beast collide in this hauntingly dark romantic fantasy by USA Today bestselling author I.V. Ophelia.

In the bioluminescent, star-worshipping city of Astraea, inventor and occultist Lucia Fairfax harvests a particular currency from the shadows--luck itself--drawn from a dimension she calls the Otherside. But when her latest ritual fails and her husband dies tragically, her carefully cultivated fortune bleeds dry.

Lucia's desperate to restore her power, but her next ritual goes catastrophically wrong, summoning something far more dangerous: Altair, a cosmic entity born of an ancient constellation. He is both human and not--impossibly seductive, unnervingly sentient, and the key to restoring what she's lost: a way to the Otherside.

Crossing into Altair's realm is the most dangerous thing Lucia has ever done--and the most irresistible. There, she unravels the intoxicating secrets of the Otherside, the disturbing truth about her abilities, and the terrifying depth of his hunger. But with each revelation, escape slips further from reach. Trapped between worlds, Lucia must confront a devastating reality: Love, desire, and ambition all have their price. And Altair is eager to collect.
