Produktbeschreibung

Beneath an amethyst sky, the sandstone city of Zangra thrives on secrets whispered in its labyrinthine markets.  Here, magic mingles with the desert wind, and a stall woven from the very fabric of night offers a perilous commodity: captured starlight, each fragment pulsing with borrowed power. Amina, a brilliant astronomer, yearns to unravel the mysteries of binary stars. Lured by the promise of the stall's celestial wares, she barters her meager savings for a sliver of incandescent brilliance, unaware of the devastating consequences. The borrowed star ignites her research, drawing the attention of Elara, a revered astrologer whose wisdom echoes the vastness of the desert sky.  But as Amina ascends, a disquieting truth emerges: the star is not a source of power, but a fragment of a stolen dream, its brilliance fading with each passing day. Across Zangra, a creeping unease takes hold. A celebrated storyteller finds his narratives dissolving, a gifted musician loses her melodies. They, along with others, are unknowingly linked by the Market of Borrowed Stars, their dreams fueling the ambitions of the desperate and the power-hungry. Amina's journey of scientific discovery becomes a desperate quest for truth, leading her into the shadowed heart of Zangra.  She uncovers a clandestine operation where each stolen dream fuels a star, each transaction a silent bargain steeped in forgotten magic. Her path intertwines with Malik, a charismatic historian obsessed with Zangra's hidden past, who unearths a prophecy foretelling the return of the Celestial Weaver, a being capable of manipulating the very fabric of dreams. Amina, unknowingly, is at the center of this celestial drama, caught between the fading brilliance of her borrowed star and the looming darkness threatening to consume her city. With Malik by her side, Amina confronts the chilling revelation that Elara, her mentor, is the mastermind behind the market, her wisdom a facade masking a hunger for power that stretches beyond the stars.  As the borrowed star's light dims, Amina must choose: embrace her ambition or fight for the soul of Zangra, where the fate of stolen dreams hangs in the balance.  In the heart of the observatory, a battle of dreams and starlight will determine the destiny of a city, and the true meaning of power.
