Throne of Stars 2 - Throne of Stars - Volume 2

A slave who shouldn't exist. A shop that shouldn't succeed. And an enemy who has already decided how this ends. Xianyu's circuits are turning a dying House into the talk of the city — and that's exactly the problem. When the great Houses notice, they don't send warnings. They send silence, cut supply lines, and watch from the shadows, patient as predators. To survive, Xianyu and Ling Shen walk into the one forest neither of them should enter — the place where her parents died. What they find there costs him blood, and gives her something she never expected to feel again: trust. But somewhere in a quiet room, a man who never raises his voice has already made his decision. He doesn't want the shop. He doesn't want House Ling. He wants the genius inside the slave collar — and he's willing to burn down everything Ling Shen has built to get him.
