The origin story of Elderberry Bay’s first tea witch.

Elderberry Bay hums with gossip, salt air, and secrets.

Esmeralda Larkspur just wants to reopen her crooked little tea room and keep her temperamental magic under control. But when a stranger washes ashore in a storm—claiming to have fallen through the stars—her quiet seaside life turns luminous.


As Esmeralda and Aric Vale uncover a hidden ley line beneath the harbor, their connection deepens into something both impossible and inevitable. Yet every spell has a cost, and their discovery may awaken a power that changes Elderberry Bay forever.

Before the Stardust is a tender, moonlit origin tale of love, legacy, and the first spark of starlight magic.
