The Moon Could Only Weep (Spent Spindle)

Faetales rarely lie and they rarely tell the truth.

Maijerda. The sole survivor of a shipwreck, rebelling against being swept into the depths of grief. Unyielding, she's willing to risk the realm's harmony to unveil the truth of family secrets masked in the blank pages of a sentient book.

Jeddeith. An exiled monster hunter turned librarian. Haunted by the first dreams he's endured in the six years since losing his memories, challenging his intimacy with death.

Lyrian. A sea tempest sorceress ravenous to inflict vengeance after being imprisoned for nine hundred years and stripped of her free will. Most want to watch the world burn. Lyrian would see it drown.

Maijerda and Jeddeith must set aside their mutual mistrust to uncover why her ship was attacked and decipher the blank book. If they fail to outrun Lyrian, she will stop at nothing to kill Maijerda and use the book to reclaim her stolen magic.

This story is a cinematic fantasy for adults that explores grief, the magic of stories and song, neurological disorders and differences, and the nuances of speech pathology, through a thrilling adventure laced with magic, mystery, and betrayal.
