Some dreams are memories. Some loves span lifetimes. And some truths require the courage to shatter everything you thought you knew about yourself.
I am property. For ten years, that's all I've been allowed to be. Chained. Worthless. Powerless. Invisible.
In Bronich, darkness reigns, and even the barest whisper of magic is punishable by death. So, I've learned to stay quiet. To expect nothing. Survive. Until I saw something I wasn't supposed to see. A murder that forced me to flee. Right into the forgotten world of Reā.
Here, I thought I'd be free. Instead, I find every truth I know to be a lie; my soul is tethered; my dreams are not my own. At night, I live through the eyes of a woman I've never seen, love with a heart that isn't mine, and awaken with the phantom touch of hands that know my body better than I know myself.
Everyone I meet seems determined to keep me from learning why. But I'm done being powerless. Done being invisible. I will reclaim what was stolen from me.
Moonborn, book one, is a spellbinding fantasy romance of stolen souls, found family, and discovering that the greatest freedom lies in choosing your own destiny.

Praise for Moonborn
"The worldbuilding is extremely detailed and well thought out. Even with tropes throughout, it never felt stale because the worldbuilding made it all feel unique. I'm totally invested in the story—the writing is consistent and engaging..."
— Erica, 20, Fantasy & Romance Reader
"The writing is evocative, especially in sensory descriptions. Laïna's first-person POV feels authentic, blending vulnerability and defiance. Their prose isn't just pretty, it pierces."
— Mary, 30, Virginia
"I love how unapologetically fantastical and whimsical this book is. A lot of fantasy these days tends to be dark in tone and take itself quite seriously, but despite some heavy moments, this story is mostly about exploring a fantasy world and having a lot of fun doing it. A major appeal of fantasy for me is a world that's easy to imagine oneself in, a world where any number of stories are possible. This book has that quality in droves."
— Maya, 30, Fantasy & Historical Fiction Reader
"The tension in this story was expertly handled and came from multiple sources, which kept me constantly on edge."
— Beta Reader
"Descriptive prose is, hands down, the shining star of this story. The vibrancy of the setting and mood are unparalleled by nearly every other contemporary fantasy book I've read in the last ten years. There were times I felt physical yearning from the heartbreaking details painted so vividly into the prose."
— Iris, 40, Fantasy Reader
"The imagery is a standout strength. The contrast between the worlds is painted with vivid sensory detail. Bronich is all cold metal, the stench of sewage, and oppressive darkness. Reā is a symphony of smells, colors, and sounds."
— Lisa, 25
