An infant girl named Louisa is found among the ruins of the Dahlian Kingdom by Sir William DiMather, following a siege ordered by King Ivan of Orwell. Taking pity on the girl, Sir William secretly adopts Louisa and brings her up as his own daughter. When Louisa reaches nine years of age, she loses her foster mother, Lady Ada, who dies giving birth to a stillborn son - the child Sir DiMather had been waiting for. Determined to make her father happy, Louisa decides to dress up as a boy and be the son her father should've had.
At age 12, with CRANE as her new name, Louisa is sent to study in Castle Desanti as a page under Sir Remmington Poe, Orwell's Weapon-master, who also happens to be a friend and subordinate of her father's. There, she meets the Heir to the Orwellian throne, Prince Carroll, who is said to have the ability to see the future. One day, Crane meets two travelling magicians - Rao and his talking tome companion Emyrus, who hole up in Crane's room for safety. Through them, Crane is told about the plight of Fanreya's magicians who are left displaced by King Ivan's "mage-hunts". One thing that arouses their suspicion about King Ivan is that Prince Carroll's power of prediction- the Seer's Eyes, are of magical origin. Also, amazingly, Crane is revealed as a fire-type mage with the power of the Healing Hand.
With full awareness of their powers, Crane and Prince Carroll train alongside each other to hone their respective abilities. However, a new threat arrives in Orwell in the form of the prince's estranged older brother, Conrad Desanti, who has sworn to destroy his former home and everything that stands for it, including the Lucian Order, led by Crane's foster father Sir William.
Saving the prince on various occasions, Crane starts to have feelings for Prince Carroll. But she has to keep these feelings - and her true self, a secret to succeed in becoming a knight...
In a world where every royalty child is born with magical powers, depending on its kingdom, unexpected thing occur as a powerless princess is born in the ruling dynasty.
The Sirius Bloodline of the moonlands or as one would like to call it 'Lunalurse'.
Time passes and Maria soon turns seven and still doesn't awaken her gift. The King and his Queen find it odd as a royalty child mostly awakens their gift between the ages of 4 and 6. So they strive to seek answers, some deep inside the lunar palace, and some across the realms making long-life friends throughout the way.
Would the powerless princess awaken her gift? And if she does what would it mean for her, the realms and everyone else? And what if her long-awaited gift is something no one has seen coming, not even her?
And what if this power of hers releases unknown and unwanted guests some the world would have been a better place without and what if she's all to blame?
And what if whilst performing her duty of protecting the realms, she becomes aware of the feelings her best friend Ashton harbors for her, knowing her cousin has taken a liking to him for years? Rowan realizes he has fallen in love with her cousin, as well as Zephyr who has fallen for Maria. She finds herself in a turmoil of longing and raw emotions where she has to choose between love or performing her duty.
Read it all as it takes place right before your eyes. It's never too late to hop onto the track of fantasies
"I might be the princess of the moon, but I can also be the bringer of your doom."

All the characters, kingdoms, names, and places are my ideas. Any resemblance to real ones is purely coincidental.
The story contains some violence and some explicit scenes of gore, but nothing too bloody or disgusting.
Keep in mind, that this is the first book I've ever written, and English isn't my first language. Any mistakes or twists of words are unintentional. I'd do better than this in the future so 🐻 with me.
