As the Blood Moon rises, an ancient veil begins to fail—and darkness long sealed stirs once more.
Evan, a young monk shaped by faith and doubt, is forced beyond the safety of the monastery and into a world unraveling at its seams. Beside him walks Lira, fierce and guarded, carrying secrets bound to the growing shadow.
With monsters emerging from myth and forgotten forces awakening, every choice carries a price. Courage is tested. Trust fractures. And survival demands sacrifice.
The Moon’s Curse: Awakening is a dark, immersive fantasy of ancient magic, rising threats, and characters shaped by both inner and outer battles. The first step in an epic journey where destiny is never chosen—and awakenings cannot be undone.
The Moon’s Curse: Awakening
Under a moon that bleeds crimson, the Veil begins to stir.
Evan Hartwell never asked to be chosen. He wanted a quiet life—one untouched by ancient prophecies, forgotten orders, and the things that whisper just beyond the edge of the world. But when a forbidden relic surfaces and the Veil thins beneath the rising Blood Moon, Evan is pulled into a hidden war that has been waiting centuries for its next sacrifice.
The Moon’s Curse is not a legend. It is a living force—one that binds blood, memory, and fate. As Evan uncovers truths buried beneath old faiths and fractured histories, he learns that monsters are not always born… some are awakened.
Alongside allies burdened by secrets of their own—Lira, marked by a power she barely understands; Father Kalen, a keeper of dangerous knowledge; and others drawn into the growing shadow—Evan must navigate a world where loyalty is fragile, ancient guardians are failing, and every choice carries a cost. The Codex Fragmenta Bestiarum, a shattered record of forbidden creatures and rituals, reveals horrors long sealed away—and hints at something far worse stirring beneath the Veil.
As the Blood Moon rises, the line between protector and predator begins to blur. Transformations are set in motion. Old safeguards fracture. And Evan is forced to confront a terrifying truth: the Curse does not simply destroy—it chooses.
Dark, atmospheric, and steeped in myth, The Moon’s Curse: Awakening is the first book in an epic fantasy trilogy that blends gothic horror, forbidden magic, and slow-burning dread. It is a story of identity, sacrifice, and the perilous moment when the world realizes it has been standing on the edge all along.
The Veil has opened.
The Curse has awakened.
And nothing beyond this point will remain untouched.
Enter the Veil.
