About The Book

A Star Appears

Title: A Star Appears
Series: The Star & Cicatrix Legacy #1
Author: Addison Dixon
Publisher: Starstruck
Release Date: March 4, 2025
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy

Sixteen-year-old Riley has never had the confidence to stand up to the school bullies—until one of them harasses his friend Caroline. But his act of courageous defiance causes a mysterious black star to appear at the corner of his eye, setting in motion a series of events that will change his life forever.

The star marks Riley as the third star bearer in a prophesy that spans hundreds of years. Thrust into the otherworld of Leíso, he must defeat Iradocc, a demolic who’s intent on spreading Dark Magic through Leíso and the Human World . . . and who is determined to see Riley dead.

The first two star bearers failed. Now, only Riley can stop Iradocc before it’s too late. If he doesn’t, the Dark Magic will permeate both worlds, and everyone will die. But can Riley overcome his fears and believe in himself enough to save the world and those he loves?

A Star Appears is the first book in The Star & Cicatrix Legacy series, a magical and enchanting fantasy about family, friendship, loyalty, and courage.

Excerpt

The sword traveled down to Riley heart.

“I have taken your friend and the princess to Elluciéna.” Iradocc’s face glowed in what little light shown through the window. His ice-blue eyes glinted. Somehow, his eyes were vaguely familiar, but why?

“Are you brave enough to attempt saving your friend? Do the princess and the young lady matter enough to you? What about your family? Your pathetic efforts could prove to be an amusing diversion.”

Caroline and Princess Lunaira! My family! Riley backed up as the sword drew closer and closer to his chest. “I will save them. I will! I will prove that I can battle you.” He grunted as his back made contact with the wall.

Iradocc’s mouth contorted into a hideous grin. “I have your family and your friend. I also have the princess!  It is only a matter of time before I eliminate you as well. And you will no longer be standing in my way.”

Iradocc disappeared, but his voice echoed through the empty room. Riley’s body grew cold. Caroline and the princess had been kidnapped; and all because of Riley’s irresponsible behavior!  If only he had listened to Dorobonn. What had he done?!
