The Sun inside of her was made to rise with her Moon.
Stolen from her home in Cadrebia at a young age, Zara has endured more years than she cares to admit as a slave to the Tankadesh courts. However, as her eighteenth birthday approaches, Zara determines nothing will stop her from claiming her freedom.
She bides her time protecting the princess and dodging leers in her service to the king, entertaining the court with her mastery of weapons. Yet every moment in between, she plots her escape.
Until those plans crash around her as a stranger arrives bearing the mark of her assigned lifemate—a man of power who threatens war and upheaves the courts on her behalf. Zara's hopes of choosing her own path and being the master of her own will weaken as her Moon seeks to claim his Sun.
But is it possible that this stranger, with gentle blue eyes and a ready smile, didn’t come to be her new master? Could there be more to his offer?
Zara soon learns that neither her captivity nor her parents’ deaths were mere random attacks. By returning to Cadrebia, she may have jeopardized the future of the royal line—and her Moon. As Zara savors her first taste of freedom, her enemies move in, determined to rob Cadrebia of its blessed prophecy.
To protect what she holds dear, Zara must rise above the pain and uncertainty to claim the lifemate assigned to her or risk losing more than her freedom.
This high-stakes fantasy adventure is perfect for readers who love fated pairs, slow-burn (spice-free) romance, and a prince who’d stop at nothing to protect the woman he loves.
Perfect for those who enjoy: young adult fantasy, romance, and/or speculative fiction.

K.R., review of Sun and Moon
This is one of my favorite books by this author. There is a depth to the characters that makes me want to see their happily ever afters.
I first read this book many years ago (including a few re-reads) and still remember key scenes because they made such an impression.
And can I just say how much I love the arranged marriage/fated love trope?!?! Deinitely worth the read!
Rated PG-13 for mild torture (tactfully handled/mildly referenced) and intense scenes —little to no language
—clean (no-spice) romance
—mild references to torture/abuse
C.O. Bonham, review of Sun and Moon
The story was really good.
In Cadrebia everyone is assigned a lifemate after they both come of age. This assignment comes from their God the Light Giver.
Zara is a Cadrebian slave in a neighboring land. On her eighteenth birthday she receives the mark of assignment on her palm. Will this mean her freedom from slavery or merely a new form of bondage?
This is not a typical romance. The plot was complex with plenty of action and intrigue to keep the pages turning.
The ending was wrapped up rather hurridly, but it was satisfying. It was refreshing to read a stand alone book and not get swept up into a multi book epic series.
I would read more books set in this story world if the author chose to write more.

This book has been languishing on my TBR pile, so I picked it up this morning...and f inished it this evening!
So, so good--lots of swoony romance, a cool magic system, and beautiful worldbuilding. I loved the relationship between Zara & Jaedon.
I was happy it was a standalone (so many duologies, trilogies, & series out there!), but when I was done reading, I wanted a sequel! 😉
