Under the Shifting Moon

Princess Emma of Estoria has spent her entire life trapped behind castle walls—valued more for her title than for who she is. Raised as a political bargaining chip and destined for a marriage she never chose, she expects her future to be decided by everyone except herself.

Then she is kidnapped by Orcs.

Rescued from a terrible fate by a mysterious white direwolf, Emma awakens in the heart of an ancient forest unlike anything she has ever known. There she meets Darrien, a reclusive shapeshifter with a painful past and secrets of his own.

As Emma recovers beneath the forest canopy, she discovers a world filled with living magic, hidden wonders, and strange gifts that do more than grant power—they awaken forgotten parts of the soul. Through friendship, adventure, and transformation, she begins to discover joy, freedom, courage, and a version of herself she was never allowed to become.

But kings do not easily surrender what they believe belongs to them.

As the shadow of her former life begins to close in, Emma must decide whether to return to the safety of the cage she has always known—or fight for the freedom, love, and future she has found beneath the shifting moon.
