Synopsis:
Amelia Gareth's brother is a witch and the only way to save
her family from the taint in his blood is to become a professed nun at
Cathedral Reims in the snowy city of Malva. However, in order to become
professed, she must endure trials that all nuns must face.
Surviving these trials is not easy, especially for Amelia, who is being stalked by shadowy beings only she can see. They're searching for people they can physically touch, because only those they can touch can see them. Amelia soon learns why she is being stalked when she accidentally harms her best friend with fire during the third trial. Fire is a witch's signature. The shadows are after witches.
Now Amelia must decide what to do: should she continue on her path to profession knowing there is no redemption, or should she give up on her dream and turn away from Cathedral Reims in order to stop the shadows who plan to destroy everything she loves?

Excerpt from When Stars Die
by Amber Skye Forbes:
"Yet, even when stars die, they leave a lasting impact
through their light, their diamond brilliance as they scatter their material to
form new stars. When people die, they leave the same impact with the footprints
they leave on people’s hearts. Even the ones who feel insignificant go out,
leaving behind dust that can nourish the world anew."
