The Crown of Moonlight

A slow-burn Highland fantasy romance about a mortal woman with forbidden magic, an immortal warrior whose oaths may force him to destroy her—and the impossible pull between them that neither world was built to survive.

A LEADER

Flora Domhnall is the last of her line—and her clan's only defence in a war between the Everfolk where human lives are cheaply spent. Then she finds a wounded immortal warrior bleeding in her woods. His oaths were designed to control him. And what she was born to be is exactly what they were created to prevent.

Flora's own morality is a trap. If she helps him, she risks her clan. If she leaves him, she becomes everything she despises.

A WARRIOR

Chyr has spent four centuries bound by the oaths carved into living runes on his skin before he was old enough to understand them. He's meant to be immortal, but an ambush has left celestial iron poisoning his blood and his body failing. To stop the war that will consume both worlds, he must reach the doorway back to his home before it seals for another year. Trusting the kindness of the woman who has every reason to betray him is his only chance.

A CHOICE

Bound by necessity and hunted on every side, Flora guides Chyr across moor and mountain while war burns through her beloved Highlands and an ancient power wakes beneath the hills, one that has waited centuries for this woman and this moment. Each mile brings Flora closer to the man sworn to stop what she's becoming. And Chyr's oaths punish his every rebellious impulse while his carefully held honour fractures beneath her kindness.

The yearning between them becomes more dangerous than the war itself. Chyr can't choose her without breaking, and Flora can't save him without betraying her nation and her fate.

PERFECT FOR FANS OF Diana Gabaldon, Sarah A. Parker, Rachel Gillig, and Rebecca Ross—or anyone who wants their immortal hero broken open by a mortal woman's kindness.
