In a kingdom where moonlight is a living force and magic is inherited through blood, Elara is born with a forbidden gift: she can hear the moon speak. When the royal court discovers her secret, she is taken to the palace-not as a guest, but as a weapon. Her fate becomes tied to Kael, the crown prince cursed to lose his humanity with every full moon. He doesn't want saving. He doesn't trust her. And he refuses to let her close. But the moon has already chosen. A prophecy binds their lives together, and the vow between them may either break the curse... or destroy the entire realm.
