Shadows of the Moon

In the quiet, coastal town of Havenridge, a strange phenomenon begins to unfold. Every full moon, the ocean tide pulls back far beyond the usual shoreline, exposing a labyrinth of ancient ruins. Within these ruins, townsfolk whisper of a curse linked to a centuries-old feud between two powerful families-the Lycanders, known for their wolf-like cunning, and the Solvans, revered for their healing and light magic. Both families mysteriously vanished nearly 200 years ago after a devastating battle during a lunar eclipse.

The protagonist, Mira Valen, a spirited 19-year-old college dropout, returns to Havenridge after her mother's disappearance. She inherits a crumbling inn near the coastline, where she discovers journals and artifacts revealing that her family is directly tied to the Lycanders. As Mira delves into her ancestry, she learns that the Lycanders weren't just werewolves-they were Moonbound, capable of controlling their transformations by siphoning lunar energy from relics hidden in the ruins.

Things take a dark turn when Cassian Solvan, a brooding stranger with a mysterious past, arrives in town seeking the same relics. Cassian claims he's the last of the Solvans and accuses Mira of being the key to reigniting the ancient feud. Despite their animosity, the two are forced to work together after discovering a third party-The Shadows, a cult worshipping a lunar deity-is hunting both families to claim the relics for their own sinister plans: to unleash eternal darkness.
