Keys to the Moon
Book #1
Most wounds heal with time…
… Others are felt across millennia.
Evina Ariss has no reason to believe her life is in danger. No one outside of her island home knows she is the guardian of an enchanted gate, and her people have protected her order’s secret for a thousand generations. But when the notorious assassin, Ashwin Lorne, arrives in the guise of an emissary, she suspects her fear for her life might not be so irrational.
As she attempts to discover the true reason for Ashwin’s visit, Evina must contend with otherworldly creatures, a cagey council of elders, and a mother who is more interested in Evina’s upcoming marriage than the possible threat to her life—all while navigating a game of cat and mouse with Ashwin that is becoming increasingly addictive.
But the game Evina is playing is older and far more perilous than she can imagine.
Surrendering to her inexplicable attraction to Ashwin might cost her more than her fiancé, Rein’s, love. It could cost her life, and she is all that stands between the world and the void on the other side of the gate, which has the power to uncreate all life. Following clues to unexpected places, Evina uncovers a plot that threatens to destroy everything she loves and an ancient secret she would do almost anything to forget.
Rich with enthralling characters, plot twists, and vivid world-building, Keys to the Moon is a tale of love and lust, lies and loyalty, and the journey to learn the difference.
