Monsters, Magic, and Moonlight: A Lumos Gems Chronicles Novella (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798992937008)

Some monsters are forged in fire-others are born in the heart.

Davi has spent her life fighting to escape her past, and the Guardian Games are her chance to rewrite her future. Victory means joining the prestigious Guardian Alliance and leaving her haunted village behind for good. But winning is a deadly gamble. Her ragtag team, the Fangslayers, must outwit the Darkbane Order: elite warriors armed with privilege, power, and secrets as dangerous as the monsters they hunt.

When Davi is forced to work with her fiercest rival, the lines between enemy and ally blur. What starts as animosity grows into something neither of them expected-and something the Games won't allow. With every trial, Davi is drawn deeper into a web of deceit, where the greatest threat isn't the monsters in the arena but the truths she's been running from.

As a monstrous dragon rises in the final trial, Davi faces an impossible choice: claim the glory she's fought for her entire life or risk everything to trust the one person who could be her undoing.

Monsters, Magic, and Moonlight is a romantasy novella brimming with high-stakes competition, forbidden alliances, and a slow-burn romance that will leave your heart racing long after the final page.
