The Veiling of the Moon Kingdom

Magic has been lost for centuries and the kingdoms cling to fading legends. On the storm-battered shores of Samarok, a child washes ashore-alone, memoryless, and silent, save for a single word: Elodae. Raised by the king as his own blood, Elodae Kenton grows up in the shadow of royalty, never knowing who-or what-she truly is. But when a darkness older than the kingdom itself falls upon Samarok, Elodae begins to hear the echo of a forgotten past calling her home.Across tumultuous waters lies Lunala, a crescent-shaped island veiled in myth and moonlight. Hidden for millennia, its gates sealed to all outsiders, the Moon Kingdom has awakened-and it claims to hold the key to Samarok‘s salvation. But not all secrets are so willing to be unearthed. Not without a bargain.And the price? Elodae‘s hand in marriage.As Elodae tumbles feet first into the unknown, she must navigate a world of ancient powers, treacherous politics, and a growing bond with a castle guard who sees beyond her carefully built walls. But when a ruthless lord brings her greatest nightmares to life, Elodae must choose whether or not to let the darkness consume her. The fate of Samarok rests in the hands of a girl with no past-and the darkness that follows in her wake.
