Blood Moon Bride

Rehya is a hunter with forbidden magic in Mennama Valley, where magic has long been outlawed. Each winter, on the night of the Blood Moon, young women are forced into marriage for the valley's supposed prosperity. But when Governor Kyra decrees that girls as young as fifteen must become Blood Moon Brides, Rehya's fate is sealed. After her father's death, she loses her chance to escape and is paraded before suitors on Show Day. When she lashes out, she's punished and sent to the Nest—a brutal place where she must choose between submission and rebellion, between survival and justice.
