Astral Heir

The legacy is astral. The cost is everything.On the eve of the Convergence, Roen is named heir to a river-throne she never asked for—and bonded to a stranger who knows too much about her dreams.
The boy they call the Fault-Line remembers futures that haven’t happened yet. He walks the riverpaths as if he’s walked them before—and carries a mark only Roen can read.
Their world is carved by myth, but ruled by machines. Glyphs become code. Bloodlines become destiny. And love? Love could undo the whole inheritance.
Caught between a dying prophecy and a power that wants to use her, Roen must choose: become the heir they engineered—or write a different story in the stars.
The Astral Heir is a poetic, slow-burn romantic sci-fi fantasy about fate, first love, and a girl who learns to defy the future without losing her heart.
Perfect for fans of Laini Taylor, N.K. Jemisin, Emily Henry in space, and soft-coded sci-fi.
