“This romantasy has phenomenal world-building with magic and magical creatures, prophecy, and lots of spice. Suraya, who is from the poorest noble house, is shocked by her invitation to meet the Crown Prince as a potential bride. Her adventure is action-packed, filled with secrets, deceit, and danger, where she meets Roshan, the prince's half-brother. They flee from the unrest among the noble houses on the hunt for the star keeper, where an immortal dark god is their greatest threat. The last chapter and the ending are really good. 5 Stars! ”

“The Starlight Heir by Amalie Howard was such a fun escape! The world-building in this book was absolutely amazing—it felt so vivid and alive, like I could step right into the pages. And the premise? Totally unique and refreshing, which is always a win for me. The characters really stood out too. They had so much depth and emotion that I couldn’t help but get completely wrapped up in their journeys. I laughed, I teared up, and I was fully invested in their struggles and relationships. They just felt real. The story itself had me hooked, and I already can’t wait for the next book! There were a couple of spots where the pacing slowed down a bit, but honestly, it didn’t bother me much—it just gave me more time to soak in the details. If you’re into books with epic worlds, emotional characters, and a fresh twist, definitely check this one out. Amalie Howard knocked it out of the park, and I’m so excited to see what’s next!”

“Suraya, an ordinary commoner, receives an invitation to the palace to compete for the prince's hand in marriage. Nothing is as it seems. As chaos unfolds, loyalties are tested, and magic lurks at the heart. The world-building is stunning and the witty characters are delightful. Throw in a steamy forbidden romance and you have the perfect book to consume in one sitting. ”

“My newest obsession! A breathtaking, sexy romantasy full of twists and adventure.” –REBECCA YARROS, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing
“Be ready for a deadly contest for a bride, mistaken identities, hidden magic, and secrets that will keep you guessing until the end.” –NISHA J. TULI, internationally bestselling author of Trial of the Sun Queen
A bladesmith blessed by the stars. A prince with a dangerous secret. A god bound in shadows. From USA Today bestselling author Amalie Howard comes a scorching new romantasy that will leave you spellbound.
“His Imperial Majesty, King Zarek requests your presence as his esteemed guest.”
When the gold-dusted court invitation arrives at Suraya Saab’s forge, she believes it’s a joke. Nobles might seek her skills as a bladesmith—one of few who can imbue her work with precious jadu, the last source of magic in the realm—but she has no qualifications as a potential bride for the crown prince. Still, the invitation is the chance at adventure, and the means to finally visit the capital city her late mother loved.
But what awaits her in Kaldari is nothing she could have imagined—and fraught with danger. It’s not the crown prince, but his impossibly handsome, illegitimate half-brother, Roshan, who captures her interest…and her ire. The invitation isn’t a quest to find a suitable bride, but a veiled hunt for the Starkeeper—a girl rumored to hold the magic of the stars in her blood. And across the city, unrest is brewing between the noble houses and the rebel militia.
When the rebels attack, Suraya and Roshan find themselves on the run, trying to deny their simmering attraction and the knowledge that Suraya herself might be the Starkeeper. But Roshan is guarding secrets of his own. And with no control over the power stirring within her, Suraya has drawn the attention of a dark god, an immortal whose interest might be the biggest threat of all.
