Moonveil: Awakening By Mandy Dannhauser "The forest gives-but it always takes first." Fifteen-year-old Elara has grown up on the edge of the Moonveil Forest, a place where whispers rise with the mist and ancient secrets sleep beneath the roots. Everyone in Wyrn's Hollow knows to keep their distance. Everyone but Elara. A year ago, Elvira-Elara's fearless, fiercely protective older sister-vanished into the forest and was never seen again. The village mourned. Elara never stopped searching. When a series of eerie visions and strange happenings begin to stir around her, Elara is drawn deeper into the forest's grasp. There, among forgotten ruins and magical beasts, she discovers that Elvira is alive-but changed. And the forest wants more than just memories. As old powers awaken and shadowed figures hunt the bloodline Elara never knew she carried, she must decide: trust the sister who abandoned her, or the wild magic calling her to become something else entirely. In a world where myths breathe, monsters dream, and betrayal cuts deeper than any blade-what will Elara choose when the truth shatters everything? Moonveil: Awakening is the haunting first installment in a lush young adult fantasy series perfect for fans of The Luminaries, Once Upon a Time, and those who believe that courage blooms brightest in the dark.

For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.

However, nothing is as it seems in Tuisedor's dark woods. Once their journey begins, the two adversaries find they must work together to survive the malevolent intentions of the forest herself and reach their destination before time is up.
