When the Moon Hatched

When the Moon Hatched (2024) is a new adult romantasy by Sarah A. Parker. In the world of the Moonfall series, dragons soar into the sky and become moons when they die, but on rare occasions, these moons fall from the sky, causing great destruction. The first installment follows Raeve, an assassin for a rebel group who is saved from imprisonment by Kaan, the King of The Burn, who appears to know her intimately despite her lacking memory of their shared past. As Raeve spends more time with Kaan, she must confront her fear of emotional connection and heal from both physical and emotional scars to unlock the secrets of her lost past.
