The Glassblower's Starfall

In the fiery heart of her Mauritian glassblowing studio, Anisha Desai coaxes forms of breathtaking beauty from molten glass, capturing the soul of the sea itself. Kaelan Sørensen, a pragmatic materials scientist from Oslo, sees only the fascinating physics of her craft—until a single, whimsical mistake creates something impossible: a glass orb that pulses with its own inner starlight. Drawn together by the mystery, they discover the orb is a key, a translator for an ancient, fading alien energy that has been silently healing the island's ecosystem for centuries.

But their miraculous discovery has not gone unnoticed. A powerful corporation, led by the ruthlessly ambitious Aris Thorne, has followed the trail of impossible energy and will stop at nothing to possess it. To protect their secret, Anisha and Kaelan must forge a new kind of alchemy—a fusion of her intuitive art and his analytical science—to create a new heart for the dying wonder. In a race against time and greed, they learn that the strongest bonds are not forged in laboratories, but in fire, breath, and the courage to defend the magic that makes life worth living.
