Blood of the Blue Moon

Once every hundred years, the Blue Moon weakens the Veil between worlds, and for generations, a line of Wardens has stood guard. Aria Veylen knows nothing of this legacy until she awakens to a profound silence. Her village of Havenwood is shrouded in an unnatural twilight known as the Hush, its people vanished without a trace. Her only clues are the frantic last writings of her adoptive father and a hidden, cursed sword that whispers of a forgotten oath.
Driven by grief and a terrifying new purpose, Aria embarks on a desperate journey through a dying world. She is hunted by monstrous creatures born of the gloom and haunted by the Moon-Pale Blade-a weapon essential for her survival, yet one that drains her life force and poisons her soul with every use. On the road, she forms a grim alliance with Corbin, a cynical hunter whose own family was lost to the Hush, and who sees in Aria's cursed power a glimmer of hope in a land he'd long given up on.
Her true battle is fought within. As the blade's cold curse threatens to consume her humanity, Aria learns she can manifest a golden, life-affirming light from her own spirit. The quest for the mythical sanctuary of Lunasyl becomes a race against time-not only to escape the horrors of the world but to master her dual powers before the Blue Moon reaches its apex. She must learn whether she is a weapon, a shield, or something else entirely.
Upon reaching the legendary sanctuary, Aria uncovers the final, staggering truth of her bloodline and the Blue Moon. The destiny of a Warden is not one of simple battle, but of a profound and transformative sacrifice. Faced with the ultimate convergence, she must make a choice that will not just save her world, but irrevocably remake it, and her, forever.
