Early Reviewers
A forbidden love. A sacred oath. A silence that could swallow them both.
In the Moon Garden household, silence is law, obedience is survival, and even love can become a death sentence.
Serilda has spent years hiding two dangerous truths: the noise in her soul that refuses to be tamed, and her forbidden love for Barukhan, the Great Hanim's son. He has always been her protector, her longing, and the one person she can never have.
But when Barukhan is chosen to become the Moon Blade, everything changes.
Bound by a sacred oath to serve his matriarch above all else, he is forbidden from giving his heart to anyone. To break that vow is to die. To keep it is to lose Serilda forever.
Now, with Barukhan bound to a fate that could place him forever beyond her reach, Serilda must decide whether to bury her heart or risk everything by following it.
Starling & the Moon Blade is a romantasy novella filled with forbidden love, aching devotion, and moonlit longing.

Thank you for your interest in this short romantasy novella, Wildfire & The Sun Prince!
Winners will receive an EPUB copy.
This was a fun story to write, blending my fantasy world with the steamy romance between Liviana and her soldeir. I look forward to hearing your impressions, and I would be grateful for an honest review here on LibraryThing.
If the novel moves you, please consider leaving a review in other places like Goodreads, BookBub, or Amazon as well.
With gratitude,
