Hallow's End has a secret. And every hundred years, it demands a sacrifice.

On the eve of the Blood Moon, seventeen-year-old Skye Mercer is named the town's Chosen-destined to die in a sacred ritual that has kept Hallow's End

"safe" for a century. But Skye refuses to become another name in the town's bloody legacy. She wants the truth.

In this haunting tale of YA gothic fantasy romance, Skye begins to unravel the sinister history buried beneath generations of silence. With the help of her fiercely loyal cousin Nova and her best friend-turned-Watcher Elijah, she discovers a forgotten witch fantasy book series written in blood, a ghost bound by betrayal, and the erased legacy of Isolde Thorne-a witch who once defied fate, and paid the ultimate price.

This is more than a curse.

It's a belief system powered by fear.

To break it, Skye must choose between becoming the sacrifice everyone expects... or the rebellion no one sees coming.

Dark, lyrical, and emotionally charged, Hallow's Eve: The Curse of the Blood Moon is perfect for fans of Legendborn, House of Hollow, and The Bone Season. A blend of gothic fantasy romance books, paranormal fiction books, and young adult horror books, this novel weaves together the magic of ancestry, the ache of grief, and the fire of resistance.

A spellbinding addition to the world of feminist fiction books and young adult fiction books, written for readers of powerful young adults books fantacy.

Industry Reviews

"I couldn't put it down. Skye's voice felt so real-like she could've gone to

my school. The ending had me SOBBING. If you liked Legendborn or House

of Hollow, you need this book in your life."

-Jess, 17, booktok reviewer

"Dark, magical, and beautifully angry. I loved how this book talks about

traditions and how dangerous they can be when no one questions them.

Skye's story made me feel powerful."

-Ari, 16, aspiring writer & fantasy reader

"I was hooked from the very first page. The writing is so atmospheric-it's

like a spell. I could literally see the fog and the blood moon. The vibes are

immaculate. 10/10 witchy aesthetic."

-Lena, 15, YA fantasy fan

"I didn't expect this book to hit me so hard emotionally. It's not just about

witches and curses-it's about being told who you're supposed to be, and

fighting back. Skye is such a relatable character for anyone who's ever felt

trapped by expectation."

-Noah, 17, queer reader & Bookstagram reviewer

"I loved the friendship between Skye and Nova-it gave me big found

family vibes. Also? That plot twist with Elijah?? I gasped. This book is

giving gothic YA fantasy with heart, and I'm OBSESSED."

-Camille, 16, high school lit mag editor
