She's on the run, she has no clue where she's headed, and she's seeing strange things her rational brain can't possibly comprehend...but the problems don't end there.  After the recent passing of her beloved mother, the only person keeping her tied to a run-down little town in the middle of nowhere, Daniella Romanus feels she has no choice but to escape the oppressive hold of her emotionally berating step-father and family.  She's leaving everyone and everything she's ever known in pursuit of living a normal...maybe even happy life.  But her problems seem to follow her like well-trained Rottweilers no matter how far she runs.   
 
Still she drives...as far away as she can get...as fast as she can get there.  She doesn't know what else to do, until she meets a strange man who seems to know more than he's telling her.  The farther they run together, the more she realizes he's hiding things from her...things that have to do with the bizarre monsters she's been seeing in broad daylight.  She thought she was cracking...finally losing what was left of her frail sanity.  But is she really going insane?  Or is she just beginning to see through the cracks in the veil...

Kai is actually enjoying his new life in this strange town. The village is "ruled" by a young woman named Ruby, and everyone there adores her for being such a great leader.

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.
