By the Moon

By Holly Bowen

"What choice do I have? My people, dead. My home, gone. Of course I will travel. For Seylon."

A new mage in training, sixteen-year-old Feyla's life shatters irreversibly when she is urged to journey to Anguard, the realm's capital. She must travel to request aid against the forest beasts that threaten to destroy her village.

Torn between helping her people and ensuring her own survival, Feyla trains her fledgling powers before forging west. Alone she enters the Hold, a mountain fortress, where instead of impaling her, warrior Guthnick agrees to guide her across the snowy peaks.

Yet bigger challenges lie in wait. Hawks with talons sharp as knives circle the path to Anguard, and they must pass the fiery Pit of the Honourless, the realm's prison. Even if she does reach the capital, the fortressed city does not simply open its gates to any mere villager.

Can Feyla survive the path to Anguard before the beasts destroy the only home she has ever known?
