Publisher's summary

Hers is a life without magic or romance. Until the night he whispers her name.

For years, Valera has worked weary hours as a seamstress just to keep food on the table. She would give her all to protect her little sister from the cruelties of the world, and the tantalizing lure of the fae forest. One day, she fears, the fae will spirit her sister away, and how can Valera hope to stop them?

Then the fae come. Not for her sister...but for her. Trapped in a magnificent palace far from her own world, Valera finds herself the unwilling bride of an enigmatic fae lord. He claims he won’t harm her and vows to return her home after a year and a day if she honors one rule: She must never see his face.

Determined to return to her sister at all costs, Valera struggles to unravel the mystery of her so-called husband. Why does he so desperately need a wife? And why her specifically? Torn between love, duty, and the unexpected freedom she finds in this strange new world, Valera must fight to find her place.

But will a burgeoning passion for the unseen figure in the shadows be her undoing?

The Moonfire Bride

I really enjoyed this book as any other from Sylvia, I haven’t read all but I am planning to. Her descriptive way of writing give me pleasure of imagining in most detailed way, evry single moment of the book. Fairlytale elements combined with mythology make my heart jump . I was really into the characters and what I especially loved was Erolas character who wasn’t a typical fae hunk but had manners, dignity, gentleness, of a true knight or should I say Prince Charming:) Also I liked the development of the female psychology and Valeras road to woomanhood. Can’t wait to start the sequel 😊

Left me wanting more

I am very excited for the chance to read the next book, had a way of making me need the interactions as much as the character in the book did. Loved it

Absolutely Enchanting Plot + Audio Performance

This book is a delicious slow burn that keeps you wanting more (I was definitely shouting at the characters a few times but the icing was perfect!) I found the story captivating and enjoyed not only the author’s world building and diverse cast of characters, but also LOVED Emily Lawerence’s narration. Hands down one of my new favorite books. The duo lift gets even better in book 2 the Sun Fire King. A must read for fantasy romance book lovers.

kept me guessing to the end

It's romance, fantasy, sci-fi, adventure, magic, and sadness all rolled into one. Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions.

Good book

I really like this book, however the main female character is a little whiny at first. But by the end of the book she’s amazing. I do love the main make character.
