The Dying Moon

Enzo follows a cry for help. The person he finds is missing a throat.

Before he can retreat, the doorway disappears.

Across town, Tess opens another door after hearing the voice of her father—a man who vanished eight years ago. She lands in the same world as Enzo, beneath a red moon that is slowly going dark.

Koryn’s people depend on that moon for protection. Their lives are bound into the magic that sustains it, and something has begun spreading through those connections.

Enzo and Tess want a way home. Instead, they find prisoners who cannot escape their bindings, families marked for sacrifice, and evidence that someone arranged their arrival.

Then a powerful warden offers them passage back. All they have to do is help him save the moon.

His plan will kill people who have sheltered them, fought beside them, and trusted them to help. Refusing means turning against the authorities in a world they barely understand.

But Enzo has already followed one desperate voice into the dark. He knows what it means to leave someone there.
