The Moonwitch Chronicles

In the heart of a crumbling village once rich with magic, eight-year-old Hazel Firelight has always lived in Darkness-hiding in alleyways, watching trades from the shadows, and obeying her parents' every command. Hazel thought she knew the rules: stay quiet, stay hidden, stay safe. But when a deal becomes ominous, Hazel's world is violently torn apart in a single, blood-soaked night. She runs-hunted and desperate to wake up from the nightmare she's lived through.

Forced to survive, Hazel falls into a world her parents once reigned in the territory of Emberlee-taking over their trading network and working to stay ahead of the monsters that surround her. A decade later, when a deal brings a set of ancient, glowing stones into her hands-stones that pulse with a forgotten magic-the cost becomes too high. A chance encounter with a fiery blacksmith reveals a twisted pattern behind the chaos-and forces Hazel to face terrifying secrets.

Once her best friend becomes a target of the same monster that stole everything from her, Hazel must decide what she's willing to become to stop it. Will she do what it takes to save what means most or fall headfirst into the Darkness? Forgotten prophecies whisper of a power awakening inside her. But as she uncovers the truth behind this power, she learns the Darkness isn't just overtaking the territory... It's inside of her.
