A Butterfly Made of Starlight

Belasta Iliren, known as the Moonroot Watcher, is a fae of ancient blood, born under a rare twin eclipse deep in the Elaren Wilds. Her tangled red hair blazes like wildfire, her skin etched with living tattoos that whisper with old magic. With glowing eyes and ears adorned with feathers and bone charms, she guards the Moonroot Tree -- a luminous blossom that holds the memories of the world. Bela hears what others can’t: the voices of trees, forgotten songs of the stars, and the soft footsteps of things that never sleep. Though young and untamed, she’s the last of the Iliren, bound by prophecy to protect the balance between memory and magic. But when shadows begin to spread from the north and the forest spirits fall silent, Bela must leave her glade for the first time. Guided by a butterfly made of starlight, she steps into a world on the brink, carrying ancient secrets and wild magic in her wake.
