​“On the night I died, the blood moon bled across the sky.”​Princess Luna Vayra had spent seven years believing in a lie. On the eve of her coronation, wrapped in silk and waiting for the crown, she expected to step into a fairy-tale union with Prince Lucien. Instead, she was met with cold steel, high treason charges, and a brutal twist of fate: her fiancé held the hand of her own sister, Elara.​Framed, stripped of her dignity, and dragged into the freezing courtyard, Luna watched the boy she loved turn his back on her. As the executioner’s blade fell, her ruined white wedding gown was swallowed by the dark mud, taking her heart—and her naive innocence—with it.​Death, however, was merely a threshold.​Luna opens her eyes not in the afterlife, but inside the ancient, glowing stone of the lost Temple of the First Moon. Uninjured and clad in imperial silk, she learns a truth her enemies sacrificed everything to keep buried: her ordinary life was a delusion. Her late father had sealed her true lineage behind dark magic to protect her from the greedy eyes of the High Realm.​Now, guided by the mythic spirit of Queen Selene and bound by ancient blood to a legendary, giant silver wolf, Luna steps toward her birthright. The moment her fingers touch the petrified wood of the Emerald Crown, divine goddess powers ignite in her veins, tearing open the sky and cleansing the blood moon with blinding silver light.​Across the continent, thousands of wild beasts howl in allegiance to their newly awakened ruler. Far away in his royal palace, Prince Lucien feels the terrifying shockwave of her resurrection hit his soul—and realizes the girl he murdered has returned.​The gentle princess who wept in the rain is dead. In her place stands an awakened deity hungry for retribution. As royal armies mobilize and traitors tremble in fear, Luna makes a final, unyielding vow:​"When they fall to their knees before me... I will decide who deserves to rise again."
