In 1921, Esme Evenson's newborn son was declared dead. She mourned him and then she followed him into a cliff. She never knew he lived. Stolen from a morgue by a Child of the Moon, the boy was healed with cursed blood and raised in the shadows-moving from forests to forgotten cities, growing up between lies, full moons, and survival. His name is Augustus Arkwright. He is charming, feral, and quietly convinced that everything he loves eventually breaks. With his morally grey mother and the brother he begged her to save, Gus grows up hidden from the world... and from the truth of what he is. But secrets rot. Blood remembers. And some graves are empty for a reason. 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕 Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy.
