THE LOST MOON

A lost moon. A forbidden love. A memory that should have stayed buried.

On the night of her twenty-third birthday, Elara Veyne wakes to a world without a moon.

No eclipse.

No clouds.

No explanation.

The moon is simply gone.

And then a stranger appears in the forest.

A man with silver eyes, a dark sword, and a voice that somehow feels like a forgotten memory.

His name is Lucien Valen, Crown Prince of Asterra.

He tells Elara three impossible things.

He has known her before.

She is not who she believes she is.

And one hundred years ago, she died in his arms.

Elara refuses to believe him-until a strange mark appears on her palm, ancient creatures begin whispering her name, and visions of a bloody castle invade her dreams.

Then she discovers a portrait hidden inside the royal palace.

A woman who looks exactly like her stands beside Lucien.

The painting is one hundred years old.

The woman's name is Elarienne.

And beneath the portrait, someone has written:

SHE WAS NEVER MEANT TO RETURN.

As Elara searches for the truth, she begins to uncover a buried history of forbidden magic, royal conspiracies, erased identities, and a love that survived a century of lies.

But the closer she gets to Lucien, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Because Lucien may be the only person capable of protecting her.

He may also be the man who betrayed her in her previous life.

And when the lost moon finally returns, Elara must face the truth hidden beneath the legend:

Some loves are destined to return.

Some memories are meant to stay forgotten.

And some people are worth destroying the world for.
