Outlander meets the Otherworld in a luminous romantic fantasy inspired by Scottish history, where the land itself is magic and chooses a woman as its champion.She’s the Highlander who saves his life with forbidden magic. He’s the immortal stranger who falls first—one yearning touch, one fierce kindness at a time.Flora Domhnall is determined to protect her people and keep her Highland clan neutral in a war between immortals, even if it means marrying a man she can’t stand. 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 rebel king will demand revenge. Where every option is a trap, she has no choice but to escort him off her land.Chyr never expected to owe his life to a mortal woman. He’s supposed to live forever, but a mysterious wound is dragging him toward death, and the doorway back to his world is sealing shut. If he misses it, the Raven Queen will tighten her grip on Flora’s realm and turn her conquest toward his world beyond the Veil. His oaths have turned him into a weapon, and they won’t let him rest until the war is won.Bound by necessity and hunted at every turn, Flora and Chyr cross the burning Highlands. Despite conflicting loyalties and secrets they must keep, their longing for each other grows with every mile they share a saddle, every sacrifice made in silence, and every night they guard each other in the dark.Then the ancient sovereignty magic of the Cailleach Queens awakens in Flora—and marks her as something the world hasn’t seen in four hundred years. Something Chyr’s oaths will command him to destroy.For Flora, he'll try to defy those oaths. Even if he has to die to save her.The Crown of Moonlight is a mythic Celtic romantasy perfect for readers who love the haunting historical romance of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander, the soul-deep yearning of Rebecca Ross, and the dark, aching magic of Rachel Gillig's One Dark Window.
