To Speak with the Stars

Apprenticed to the Gods #1

K.V. Wilson

A reluctant mage reborn in flames.

A passionate princess fleeing her fate.

A powerful telepath at the mercy of the world’s thoughts.

A spirited goddess craving adventure.



With Penumbra on the brink of an ice age, Eos dreams of helping to create the False Star each dawn to ensure the survival of his people. But there's just one problem: he cannot speak the star's name.

In the eye of the storm, Rysa was raised to rule at her mother's side. But a terrible secret has been kept from the princess—one that will tear her life apart.

Deep within the molten Heart of Penumbra, a secret society gathers. Elves, dwarves, fauns, ice dragons, and magma merfolk prepare to seize the stolen throne and end the enchanted storm before it devours the realm.


Perfect for fans of high fantasy and queer-normative worlds, this novel boasts heart-pounding action, tender breaks without spice, and a full cast of diverse characters and vibrant creatures, including plenty of dragons. Grab your copy and join Eos, Rysa, and their immortal mentors as they race to save Penumbra.
