Lunar Enchantment
One girl. Four fragments. A thousand years of darkness waiting to be let in. Aurora "Rory" Whitmore thought the biggest challenge of her senior year would be surviving her parents' move to a desolate mountain town. But Silverwood isn't just a quiet retreat-it's a cage, and the lock is beginning to break. When a series of brutal, impossible attacks leaves her school in ruins, Rory discovers a terrifying truth: she is the hereditary guardian of an ancient lunar seal. For centuries, her family has stood between the world and the Veilborn-an abyssal hunger that turns men into monsters and shadows into blades. With the next full moon fast approaching, Rory must hunt down the four shattered fragments of the Moonstone: the Crescent, the Shard, the Eye, and the Heart. Each piece she finds grants her a power that is as intoxicating as it is dangerous, slowly stripping away her humanity and transforming her into something the legends call the Shadow-Queen. Guided by her grandmother's cryptic lore and protected by a boy with his own golden-eyed secrets, Rory must ascend the treacherous Summit of Sorrows. If she can't fuse the stone before the moon reaches its peak, the Veil will shatter, and the darkness will become permanent. The hunt is on. The Queen is waking up. And the price of the crown may be her very soul.Complete
