Starfall Requiem Book 1 Chapter 1

Starfall Requiem

Book 1 • Chapter 1: The Girl Beneath the Eclipse

The night the moon turned crimson, Astra Nocturne stopped feeling safe.

As thousands gather to witness a rare lunar eclipse, an impossible murder shatters the city's fragile peace. The victim bears no wounds, no weapon can be found, and every clue seems to vanish the moment it's discovered.

Captain Eliana Voss has built her reputation on solving the unsolvable, but this case defies everything she believes about life, death, and memory. Haunted by fragmented visions she cannot fully explain, she begins uncovering signs that suggest the truth has been buried for far longer than anyone realizes.

As whispers spread through the city and powerful forces move to conceal what happened, Eliana finds herself standing at the edge of a mystery that reaches beneath the streets of Astra Nocturne—and beyond recorded history itself.

Some secrets were never meant to be remembered.

Some nightmares have only just begun.

Begin the first chapter of an epic anime-inspired gothic fantasy mystery where every answer uncovers an even darker question.
