Claire is stuck in the quiet edges of life — places where no one looks too closely and nothing asks too much. Which is why the man with amber eyes shouldn’t exist.
He appears where he shouldn’t.
Knows things he couldn’t.
And looks at her like she’s already his.
Xavier is dangerous in ways Claire doesn’t yet understand. Publicly, he’s polished, powerful, untouchable. Privately, he’s bound by rules, obligations, and a future that leaves no room for mistakes — or for her.
Their connection is instant. Unexplained. Impossible to ignore.
As the city prepares for a rare blood moon, lines begin to blur between coincidence and fate, fantasy and reality. Claire starts to question what’s real, what’s hidden, and why being near Xavier feels both intoxicating and wrong — like touching something that might burn her alive.
Because some doors, once opened, don’t close again.
And some truths change everything.
Set in a modern city where monsters hide in plain sight and power is negotiated behind closed doors, Under the Blood Moon is a dark romantasy of forbidden attraction, dangerous secrets, and the moment just before everything breaks.
This is the beginning.
Not the answer.
