To break the thread of weaver’s fate, those who witness must weave anew…
Mael Nguyen doesn’t believe in fate, but he does believe in magic. His entire life revolves around the study of the arcane—spells and rituals, potions and illusions. As far as Mael is concerned, all he needs is a book in one hand and magic in the other. Anything outside of his bookshop, hidden away in the streets of New Orleans, isn’t worth his attention. But when a strange human stumbles into his life and hires him for a job, bringing along his blinding smile and curious magic, Mael finds that Fate is just as dangerous as Magic.
Leo Greyson refuses to believe in fate, but he desperately wishes to believe in magic. As a small time rockstar, full time radio host, Leo has never been one to shy away from experience and adventure. He’s always lived his life on the edge—always moving, never standing still. But when his twin sister is murdered, and he gains custody of her strangely magical daughter, that constant motion comes to a screeching halt. Instead, he is launched into an entirely new world hidden right beneath his nose, and Leo finds himself wondering if Fate really does exist, and if she’s led him right where he needs to be.
A queer take on magic, murder, and romance, fans of The Dresden Files, Howl's Moving Castle, and A Marvelous Light will find family, acceptance, and a fantastical new world to get lost in within the pages of Under the Dragon Moon, the first book in the Belamour Archives.
©2024 Mawce Hanlin (P)2024 Mawce HanlinThe romance was really sweet (and spicy), the mystery had me hooked through the whole book and the platonic relationships between characters felt deep and important and not like they were deprioritized because of the romance.
And the reading was phenomenal. Details like actually moving away from the microphone when a character was speaking while walking away had me laughing out loud several times. It really felt like the performance helped me get to know the characters and how distinct and different they were, something I've struggled with when listening to a book, as opposed to reading it, before.
Over all a 5/5, would and will definitely recommend to my friends.
Great book and a great reading
