Love in the Face of Death

by Claire E. Jones

“She needed to leave the ghosts behind and weave a new destiny for herself…”

After losing the last of her family, Kelah must leave her war-torn home and embark on a dangerous and thrilling journey that forces her to navigate the turbulent waters of love and death.

Join her as she survives a shipwreck, washes up on an island, gets into a whole lot of trouble, and finds her true path. She is forever changed as she uncovers secrets about her inherited blessing and struggles to accept her fated duties as a descendant of the original Moon Queen.

Each novel of this eight-book series will focus on the blessed ones that wield their powers against the malevolent forces that seek to destroy them while also exploring the complex intricacies of love, hate, and everything in between.

Will they succeed before it’s too late?
