Midnight on the Celestial by Julia Alexandra (Hardback)

A dark, enemies-to-lovers romantic YA fantasy.

Roe Damarcus was raised with power, but one failed trial changes everything. Deemed too dangerous to keep her magic, she is sent to work aboard the Celestial, her family’s grand magical cruise ship. There, staff compete for guest approval in the hope of earning a second chance to reclaim what they have lost.

Now a concierge, Roe must navigate demanding guests, strict superiors, and constant pressure to prove herself. Every interaction matters, and every mistake could cost her the opportunity she is fighting for. At the same time, she cannot ignore Ivander, a silks performer whose presence unsettles her. He seems determined to stand in her way, and she cannot decide if he is a rival or something more.

As night falls, the Celestial reveals its true nature. The ship becomes a place of fear, where those who wander its halls risk never returning. What once appeared luxurious turns deadly, and survival depends on understanding the secrets hidden within its walls.

Roe is forced to confront the truth about the ship, her family, and the past they have tried to bury. With danger closing in from every side, she must act quickly before she becomes the next victim claimed by the Celestial.
