"The Twelve Houses of Death"
By Kevin J Nelson And Asia Michael Brown
Prologue: The Stars Were Never Silent
The night sky stretched endlessly above Celeste Vance — a cold, ancient vault of glimmering, indifferent eyes.
Where others found beauty, Celeste found judgment.
Where others saw constellations, she saw warnings. Cracks. Weaknesses.
The night her parents died, the stars had screamed.
She was twelve when a drunk Gemini driver crushed their car against a concrete pillar, erasing everything that was safe and warm in her life.
Standing between two shallow graves, her twin brother, Jace, at her side, Celeste felt something inside her snap — not with grief, but with clarity.
The world was flawed.
Humans were born broken.
And the stars had mapped every weakness.
Jace had grabbed her bloodless hand that night and whispered through teeth clenched against tears,
"We fix it. We fix everything. No more victims. No more mistakes."
Celeste had nodded once, sealing a silent pact written in rage and orphaned pain.
They wouldn't be the ones to die beneath the world's chaos.
They would become its cure.
