Ceella Stella grew up as the eldest in a close-knit family, but at twenty-two, her peaceful existence shattered when her space transport was ambushed by armed pirates seeking smuggled cargo. Stranded and wounded on a hostile dungeon planet, she faced impossible odds—until she made a desperate bargain for survival. Five years later, freedom finally comes within reach, but reunion brings unexpected complications. Can she navigate the transformation her family has undergone while protecting herself from the darkness of her past? In a universe where humanity narrowly escaped extinction two millennia ago, dungeons and mysterious energies now permeate the stars. Civilization flourished in the aftermath, establishing an era of unprecedented stability across the cosmos. Yet peace remains fragile, and equilibrium hangs by a thread. Those who cross the Stargazing Witch learn this truth the hard way.
