The Star Chart Sorceress

To save her family from a mysterious curse, a brilliant young woman must master a dangerous magic drawn from a cosmic river of souls—a power that demands a price for every spell. She is both blessed and haunted by a second, chillingly logical soul that grants her unparalleled strategic genius but threatens to erase her humanity. Hunted by relentless forces for a secret in her blood, she forges a tense alliance with her sole intellectual rival, an arrogant nobleman whose ambitions mirror her own. Together, they assemble a team of outcasts to pursue an ancient map that can rewrite reality. As they unravel a conspiracy involving sleeping gods and a forgotten war, she must evolve from a pawn to a player in a divine game, where the ultimate prize is not just survival, but the freedom to choose her own destiny.
