A Sky of Shattered Stars — Ali Winters

When the Stars call, they demand to be answered.⁠⁠Oriana has spent her life keeping her head down, waiting for the day she will no longer be a ward of the Kalodorian court. About to be sold into servitude, Oriana knows she must escape or she will never be free. ⁠⁠She was not born to serve others.⁠⁠Freedom is within her reach—until she steals from the wrong man. ⁠⁠Oriana will let nothing stop her from gaining her freedom, not the threat of fifty lashes if she’s caught, and certainly not the man who makes her heart beat a little too fast, and who has his own plans for her.⁠⁠After chasing a thief halfway across the kingdom, Lucian can’t help being intrigued by the spitfire. Taking pity on her, he agrees to escort her to her destination. ⁠⁠Along the way, he comes up with a plan to use her uncanny resemblance to the missing Solairian heir to start a rebellion that will free the five kingdoms of Alterra from the Erisaan empire. ⁠⁠But if anyone finds out she’s an imposter, death will be the least of their worries.
