Queens of the Star Temple by Claudetta Aurelia The Star Temple has ruled a dozen worlds on beauty, conquest, and fear. Queens Marva, Imani, and Nyah sit upon three thrones carved from a single stone — and they have never agreed on anything. When Kadeem, envoy of a starving league, casts a cracked coin at the foot of their dais and invokes an ancient prophecy, the sisters are forced to confront what their empire has cost. Marva reaches for fire. Imani reaches for mercy. Nyah reaches for something neither sister can name. Beneath the Temple, the Tablet of Ashara blazes for the first time in a generation. Its warning is six words long. When sisters divide, the Temple breaks. A dark fantasy novella of power, prophecy, and the price of a crown.
