The Moon Blessed King cover

Can two rulers with power over life cheat death, to save two nations locked in war . . .

Elician, a Giver with the power to raise the dead, is crowned King of Soleb. It’s forbidden for Givers to rule. However, Elician is determined to end a generations-long war with the kingdom of Alelune – and will marry Alelune's rightful heir to do so. But Cat is a Reaper, someone who can kill with a touch and is therefore feared by his own people. When Cat's tyrannical brother, Gillage, seizes the Alelune throne before Cat can lay his claim to it - the conflict Elician had hoped to avoid seems inevitable.

Yet just as the war between nations begins anew, the goddess of death releases a devastating plague across the continent. To stop it, Elician and Cat must confront Death herself. Elician's rebellious sister, Fen, is left behind to do what she can to heal the sick in their absence. But when a coup threatens to upend her brother’s reign, Fen must decide exactly what she is willing to sacrifice to help her brother succeed.

With the death toll rising, it’s a race against time to appease the wrath of a god with the monarchies of both countries at stake.
