About this ebook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The #1 internationally bestselling phenomenon, When the Moon Hatched, is a fast-paced fantasy romance featuring an immersive, vibrant world with mysterious creatures, a unique magic system, and a love that blazes through the ages.

The Creators did not expect their beloved dragons to sail skyward upon their end. To curl into balls just beyond gravity’s grip, littering the sky with tombstones. With moons. They certainly did not expect them to FALL.

As an assassin for the rebellion group Fíur du Ath, Raeve’s job is to complete orders and never get caught. When a rival bounty hunter turns her world upside down, blood spills, hearts break, and Raeve finds herself imprisoned by the Guild of Nobles—a group of powerful fae who turn her into a political statement.

Crushed by the loss of his great love, Kaan Vaegor took the head of a king and donned his melted crown. Now on a tireless quest to quell the never-ebbing ache in his chest, he is lured by a clue into the capitol’s high-security prison where he stumbles upon the imprisoned Raeve …

Echoes of the past race between them.

There’s more to their story than meets the eye, but some truths are too poisonous to swallow.

"A wild ride that thrills as much as it enchants . . . This remarkable book is an instant classic.” — Thea Guanzon, New York Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars

“When The Moon Hatched breathes new, beautiful life into the genre, as Sarah A. Parker weaves lyrical prose with undeniable chemistry. I laughed, I cried, I got everything out of this. It’s an absolutely stunning fantasy world that everyone should sink their teeth into.” — Raven Kennedy, internationally bestselling author of The Plated Prisoner series

If you are a fan of Sarah J. Maas then this book is for you! It was so well written I could not put it down. The world she created, depth of characters, storyline progression, and a myriad of other elements put her quickly at the top of my "favorite fiction authors" list. I will be earnestly anticipating and impatiently awaiting the rest of this series. Absolutely Fantastic book!

Loved this book from the very first chapter! I've been getting sick of the same old romantacy trope that's currently being re-written time and again, but When the Moon Hatched is a refreshing new spin, with beautiful writing and characters/storyline that drew me in immediately. Very much looking forward to the sequel and seeing where this story goes!

Makes you forget the world around you and feel things you don't want to feel or acknowledge. Couldn't ask for anything more.
