Keys to the Moon
Book #1
Most wounds heal with time…
… Others are felt across millennia.
High Priestess Evina Ariss has always lived with a quiet sense of dread. She is the soul guardian of an enchanted gate hidden in the mountains of island she calls home, and the keys, needed to unleash the all-consuming darkness within, have been lost for centuries. She reassures herself the gate is locked, hidden and safe. Yet she can’t escape the feeling that something is terribly wrong.
When a ship wrecks on the island’s cliffs and her elders welcome the crew with open arms, Evina is horrified to discover one of the men just so happens to be a notorious assassin. Ashwin makes veiled threats to her life. He jokes about misplacing keys and her fruitless attempts to learn who he is working for soon spiral into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse.
But the game she is playing is older and far more perilous than she can imagine.
Gaps begin to appear in her people’s memories. And the rules of the game blur as Evina finds herself inexplicably drawn to Ashwin, despite her deep love for her fiancé. Desperate for answers in a world she no longer trusts, Evina uncovers 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 one woman’s journey to learn the difference.
