Nyssa has spent her life as her father's weapon, a solar fae forged in blood, nightmares, and obedience. But when a mission meant to crush a budding rebellion leads her to a healer the Mire protects like a secret, everything she thinks she knows begins to crack.
Moonblight rots from the inside: missing children, forbidden magic humming under the castle, veilmancers hunted to extinction, and a king worshipped by fear, not faith. As the crimson moon approaches and ancient prophecies whisper through her nightmares, Nyssa finds herself caught between loyalty to the crown that raised her and the people who believe she's their savior.
And somewhere in the shadows, a violet-eyed stranger and a deadly spell made of children's essence may hold the truth, or the end, of everything.
In a kingdom built on lies, mercy is treason.
And Nyssa is running out of places to hide.
