The Forgetting Moon

Just started reading a new book: “The Forgetting Moon” by Brian Lee Durfee. Found this hidden gem at a book fair for RM1! I was attracted by the beautiful cover and the size of the book and snatched it immediately.

Description:

“The Five Isles, where war has come in the name of the invading army of Sør Sevier, a merciless host driven by the prophetic fervor of the Angel Prince Aeros toward the last unconquered kingdom of Gul Kana. Yet Gault, one of the elite Knights Archaic of Sør Sevier, is growing disillusioned by the crusade he is at the vanguard of, just as it embarks on his lord Aeros’ greatest triumph.

While the eldest son of the fallen king of Gul Kana now reigns in ever-increasing paranoid isolationism, his two sisters seek their own path. Jondralyn, the elder sister who is renowned for her beauty, only desires to prove her worth as a warrior, while Tala, the younger sister, has uncovered a secret that may not only destroy her family but the entire kingdom. Then there’s Hawkwood, the assassin sent to kill Jondralyn but who instead falls in love with her and trains her in his deadly art. All are led further into dangerous conspiracies within the court.

And hidden at the edge of Gul Kana is Nail, the orphan taken by the enigmatic Shawcroft to the remote whaling village of Gallows Haven, the young man who may hold the link to the salvation of the entire Five Isles.”

Excited to read this book and will update you all on my reading journey! 🙇‍♀️
