The stars' prophecies, what secrets do they whisper? The rusted firmament, only she can turn back!
Beneath the stars, an ancient prophecy whispers. Blood is the key that unlocks the rusted prison; though its light is faint, it can still restart the river of stars.
She thought her father's disappearance marked the tragic end of everything.
She thought those ancient star charts were nothing more than abstract legends.
She thought the world ran according to cold, unchanging rules.
Until, on a rainy night, a bizarre shadow reeking of rust writhed at the mouth of an alley; until the bronze compass her father left behind turned soundlessly beneath her fingertips, murmuring the secret language of the stars.
Archaeologist Lin Wei is forced to face a reality in the throes of collapse: the "Star Laws" that sustain the universe are being devoured by a strange "Rust," and the few who can sense the pulse of the stars are called "Star Speakers."
The ruthless guardians of order see her as a variable that must be controlled; the mysterious Star Shepherd hints that her father's research angered the heavens; and the Rust Cult lurking in the shadows longs to use her as the key to a sacrifice.
What exactly did her father discover? What terrifying cosmic truth lies behind the spreading rust? As the stars' prophecy awakens in her blood, Lin Wei must learn to interpret this power before the rust completely corrodes everything she cares about, along with the entire world.
This novel is primarily the story of the heroine's growth. It has a romance, with a devoted one-on-one pairing.
