The Veiling of the Moon Kingdom (The Stars Forgotten)

Magic has been lost for centuries. Kingdoms cling to fading legends. And on the storm-battered shores of Samarok, a child washes ashore—alone, memoryless, and silent, save for a single word: Elodae.

Raised by the king as his own blood, Elodae Kenton grows up in the shadow of royalty, never knowing who—or what—she truly is. But when a darkness older than the kingdom itself falls upon Samarok, Elodae begins to hear the echo of a forgotten past calling her home.

Across tumultuous waters lies Lunala, a crescent-shaped island veiled in myth and moonlight. Hidden for millennia, its gates sealed to all outsiders, the Moon Kingdom has awakened—and it claims to hold the key to Samarok’s salvation. But not all secrets are so willing to be unearthed. Not without a bargain.

And the price? Elodae's hand in marriage.

As Elodae tumbles feet first into the unknown, she must navigate a world of ancient powers, treacherous politics, and a growing bond with a castle guard who sees beyond her carefully built walls. But when a ruthless lord brings her greatest nightmares to life, Elodae must choose whether or not to let the darkness consume her.

The fate of Samarok rests in the hands of a girl with no past—and the storm that follows in her wake.
