Every year, the people of the Protectorate abandon a baby in the forest—an offering meant to appease a feared witch.
But the witch, Xan, is kind. She saves the children, feeds them starlight, and delivers them to safety. That is, until the night she accidentally feeds one baby moonlight instead.
Magic blooms in Luna, a child unlike any before. As her thirteenth birthday nears, the magic she’s unknowingly carried begins to stir—and so do the dangers lurking beyond the trees.
A grieving mother refuses to forget. A boy with a broken heart takes up a mission. Deadly birds circle. And beneath it all, something ancient begins to wake.
A girl raised on moonlight. A world built on fear. And a story aching to unravel.
