MOONLIT SECRETUpdated at Aug 23, 2024, 14:31
True to the fairy-tale-type setting of Silver Hollow, where whispers in dark corners have power and moon cats glow with silver light, a somber luminary awaits eventide on long threads of tingling volume. A human woman burdened by shrouded legacy dances among mists plaiting red gold under the deep blue silk-laced night sky.
Raised as an orphan by a kind, but clueless foster family she always felt different and somewhat out of place when the moon was full - dreams running wild under silver light. But when a tragic event sends her into the pound too soon, she is brought back to life in an unfamiliar fur coat—a rebirth that changes everything about who Alexandra was meant to become.
Known as Lira, she has to find her way in a changed world and keep the secret of what happened eight years ago hidden from her new family and hunters who become more dangerous daily. However, when she crosses paths with Aiden Blackwood, the brooding and powerful alpha of a rival pack this tension loosens between them like steam.
Across the continent from Lira, Aiden seeks out a relic that otters hope peace and salvation - again one thing he can ne'er provide for himself; once the corners of his memory draw him nearer to an area long dim in polished glass.
When their worlds crash together, Lyra must reveal her true identity and student status to Aiden and face an enemy of the scariest nature. Can they come together against the beings that haunt them or will their shadows destroy each other? Moonlit Secrets is a gripping story of transformation, love and the fight to discover what it means to be human.
