Silver moon

You live in the ancient village of Velmire, deep in the forests of a forgotten realm, where elves live hidden from the ruin of the world outside. After a devastating outbreak nearly wiped out civilization a century ago, small forest communities remain, ruled by superstition, secrecy, and survival. Odessa, a half-elf seamstress known for her ethereal, self-made lace garments, is the granddaughter of one of the village’s founders. Her relationship with Wren — a kind-hearted welder’s son — is the image of sweetness. But when Ambrose, a quiet, sharp-eyed hunter with a haunted past, returns to Velmire, everything shifts. Ambrose’s father murdered Odessa’s grandfather years ago. Though his family was shunned, Ambrose and his older brother Benjin now hunt for the village’s survival — and Ambrose hides a secret: he’s been in love with Odessa since they were children. Odessa is torn between duty and desire. She loves Wren, but her curiosity and connection with Ambrose grows in stolen moments and glances. The world is watching, and something darker stirs in the forests beyond. Strange mutations are rumored near the abandoned cities. A rebellion is whispered among the younger generation. And Odessa may have to choose between love, legacy, and the truth.
