The Crown of Moonlight ^Featured

She saves his life with forbidden magic. He falls first—one fierce, yearning day at a time.

Flora Domhnall is the last of her line, her Highland clan's only defence in a war neither side can win. When she finds a dying immortal warrior in her woods, healing him is a terrible risk. But if he dies on her land, her clan will pay the price.

Flora chooses mercy.

Chyr has spent four centuries bound by oaths carved into his flesh—oaths that read his every thought. Violence and sacrifice are all he knows, and Flora's fierce, impossible kindness breaks him open.

Bound by necessity and hunted across the burning Highlands, the yearning between them becomes unbearable. Every stolen glance, every forbidden touch, every night they guard each other in the dark.

He's falling hopelessly. She's fighting not to fall at all.

Then the ancient magic of the Cailleach Queens awakens in Flora—magic that's been waiting four hundred years for this woman.

And Chyr's oaths may demand he destroy the one person he can't bear to lose.

For her, he'll break everything—including himself.

From award-winning author Martina Boone, this sweeping romantasy combines the Highland atmosphere of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander with the emotional devastation of Rebecca Ross's Divine Rivals and the dark fairy-tale magic of Rachel Gillig's One Dark Window.
