The Crown of Moonlight

A captivating, slow-burn romantasy where Outlander meets Otherworld magic. When a Highland woman saves the immortal enemy she was raised to fear, she awakens a forbidden power and a crown that could save two worlds…or destroy them both. Five crowns. Two reluctant lovers. One throne between them. Flora Domhnall is determined to protect her people and keep her Highland clan neutral in a war between the Everfolk. Then she finds a dying warrior—one of the rebel king’s Riders—bleeding in her woods. If the Raven Queen’s soldiers catch him, Flora’s clan will hang as traitors. If she turns him away, the rebels will demand revenge. Chyr is a Rider of the Anvar’thaine. He’s immortal, yet a mysterious wound is dragging him toward death, and the doorway back to his world beyond the Veil is sealing shut. To save both realms, he must rely on the mortal woman who has every reason to fear and betray him. Allied by necessity and stalked by their enemies, Flora and Chyr cross moor and mountain while war rages through the Highlands and the land wakes in fury. Flora’s mysterious magic defies the oaths etched into Chyr's skin, but as her power grows, Chyr needs her to accept it. To save his people and hers, he’ll pay the price in blood and heartbreak. Honor is everything—until it isn’t. Then you hunt for the one chance left.
