Lunar Reign Book 1
Lunar Legacy Series Book 3 (interconnected stand alone)
Niki Dahl
My future was decided before birth, and my hands are bound as Lady Fate weaves her webs through every facet of my life. At eight years old, I dethroned my father, becoming the Queen of Selendia, shouldering the responsibilities of the Lunar System. One would think becoming a queen at such a young age would be enough for one lifetime, but fate has other plans.
On top of my royal duties, I must lead an uprising against the High Council to restructure the power imbalance within the galaxy. The divine beings of this realm tire of their tyranny, and together, we will rise against our biggest threat.
As if the stars haven’t punished me enough, Selendian law commands I bear an Heir with my Genetic Mate. My royal bloodline must continue, with or without my heart’s consent. But how am I supposed to perform my duties when I yearn for a man I’ve only met in my dreams?
A childhood love, buried deep in my heart, burns brightly, even after his sharp words sliced apart my soul. I am the moon, bound by duty and shadow. He is the dawn, forever out of reach, never meant to be mine.
So when I’m offered a reckless chance to break away from my royal chains, I clutch it with every fiber of my existence, casting away my crown and kingdom. I give up everything for the man who stole my heart beneath a golden willow tree.
