Alleria (Chronicles of the Moon Born, 1)

By Chantal Noordeloos

Alleria is hideous. Her claws drag on the ground as she walks, harvesting herbs for her foul-tempered guardian, Tumsa. She does as she's told and lives as a timid shadow under Tumsa's gaze.

But not everything is as it appears.

That's the lesson Alleria learns on her seventeenth birthday when the handsome rogue Halfway Jack rescues her from the witch's grasp. With her body cursed inside and out, she's grateful to see kindness from another of her kind.

Though clear about his intentions, the kindness he shows makes her wonder: is he a knight in shining armor? Or is he really a scoundrel only looking to sell her to the highest bidder?

As they travel far through the treacherous lands of the Arallfyd, Alleria fears she isn't yet free from the hag who kept her enslaved. Can she stay one step ahead of the witch, or will she fall further into the hands of an enemy that would use her powers to ruin the world as they know it?

Alleria is the first of three novels in a dark fantasy series about a young woman trying to learn who she is, who she can trust, and where she belongs when there's danger in her blood. The series features an antihero, good vs. evil, enemies to lovers, and a slow-burn romance.
