Description


The battle against darkness was supposed to be over. Instead, it was only the beginning. Six months after the events of Snow Moon, Seraphina's world is still shattered. The boy she loves, the enigmatic Vampire Jules, remains trapped inside The Flaming Dagger—a mystical weapon forged from ancient magic and bound to the laws of Karma itself. While her friends struggle to move forward, Sera refuses to let go, risking her soul night after night as she searches the boundaries between worlds for a way to bring him home. But something ancient has awakened. A hidden enemy has emerged from the shadows, revealing that the evil threatening the supernatural world was never truly defeated. Disguised among them for years, a powerful demon has set a dangerous plan into motion, one that threatens Humans, Vampires, Therions, and Witches alike. Friends disappear. Alliances fracture. Dark secrets long buried beneath Valiant High begin to surface. And the fate of the world may rest on powers no one fully understands. As the first and only Tetrad—a supernatural being carrying the bloodlines of four magical races—Sera must embrace abilities unlike anything seen before. Yet every new power comes with a cost, and every answer uncovers even darker questions. Beside her stands Steele, her fiercely loyal twin brother. Equal parts protector, troublemaker, and reluctant hero, Steele is grappling with his own transformation as dormant Therion powers awaken inside him. Caught between the life he wants and the destiny he cannot escape, Steele must decide what kind of leader he is willing to become when everything he loves is threatened. Meanwhile, the Witches of the Alliance find themselves at the center of a growing storm. Ancient symbols, forgotten prophecies, and powerful bloodlines point toward a magical reckoning centuries in the making. For Hannah and Rachael, sisterhood has always been their greatest strength, but when dark magic tears them apart, they must confront forces older than any spellbook and more dangerous than any curse. Filled with enchanted relics, secret covens, crystal magic, astral projection, elemental powers, and generations of mystical lore, Hunter's Moon blends the warmth of sisterhood and found family with the wonder and danger of modern witchcraft. Fans of Charmed and Practical Magic will discover a world where magic is woven into friendship, loyalty, sacrifice, and love—and where every spell has consequences. As supernatural factions prepare for war, loyalties are tested, hearts are broken, and destinies collide. The line between good and evil becomes increasingly blurred, forcing Sera and her friends to question everything they thought they knew about love, justice, and fate itself. Sometimes the greatest monsters are the ones hiding in plain sight. Sometimes the people we love become our greatest weakness. And sometimes saving the world means risking your soul to do it. Perfect for fans of The Vampire Diaries, Charmed, Practical Magic, Crave, and A Discovery of Witches, Hunter's Moon: The Devil You Know is a thrilling young adult fantasy filled with forbidden romance, magical warfare, unforgettable friendships, supernatural mystery, and the enduring belief that love can survive even death itself.
