The stranger is no ordinary man. Kaelen, the exiled crown prince of the Moon Kingdom, carries a dangerous secret and a curse that’s been hunting him for years. His enemies are not just men, they are shadow beasts, creatures born of ancient magic, and they are drawn to Aeloria as if she were a beacon in the dark.When the village seer warns her, “The Moon has chosen you… and it will cost you your heart,” Aeloria finds herself pulled into a destiny written in the stars.
