The Crown of Moonlight

By Martina Boone

Book Overview

Flora Domhnall is the last of her line, keeping her Highland clan together amid a war between the Everfolk where humans are nothing more than pawns. Then she finds a wounded immortal warrior bleeding in the Sacred Wood-a man whose oaths may one day compel him to destroy her.

Her own morality is a trap. If she helps him, she risks her clan. If she leaves him, she becomes everything she despises.

Chyr has spent four centuries bound by the oaths carved into his skin before he was old enough to understand them. He's supposed to be immortal, but an ambush has left something poisoning his blood and his body failing. To stop the war before it consumes both worlds, he must reach the doorway back to his home before it seals for another year. Trusting the clever woman who has every reason to betray him is his only chance-even if it means defying the oaths he's sworn.

Bound by necessity and hunted on every side, Flora guides Chyr across moor and mountain while war burns through her beloved Highlands and an ancient power stirs beneath the hills-one that has waited centuries for exactly this woman and this moment.

Every day Flora spends with Chyr, her forbidden magic grows. And the sentient runes of his oaths weigh Chyr's every thought and impulse while his carefully held honour fractures beneath her kindness.

The pull between the two becomes the most dangerous thing in either world-because Chyr's oaths were designed to stop exactly what Flora is becoming.
