Starforged

In a world where the living constellations grant power to mortals, your Rank determines your worth and your Bane defines your life. Caelum, a boy born without a star sign, is marked as a Null, destined for obscurity. But when his Convergence shatters the evaluation stone, he is revealed as a Nova, a rank unseen in a century, and inheritor of the extinct Ursa Star Thread, the original bloodline that once bound the heavens to humanity. Hunted by noble clans who fear his power, by a shadowy government that wants to control him, and by a nihilistic cult that would use him to shatter the sky, Caelum must conceal his true Rank, master his devastating Bane, and navigate a world where the highest powers are forbidden from interfering yet are the ones pulling every string. His only weapons are his wits, a crew of outcasts, and a strange heirloom that seems to bend fate toward impossible encounters.
