In a kingdom where the Church burns women for whispers of magic, knowledge is the deadliest sin of all. Eleanor Vale was once a brilliant modern lawyer — until one catastrophic case destroyed her career, her conscience, and her will to live. But when she leaps from a London bridge beneath a blood-red moon, death does not claim her. Instead, she wakes in a brutal medieval kingdom where the Church calls her a demon. Hunted by Bishop Hereward and his network of spies, Eleanor survives using the only weapon she has left: her mind. Every lie she uncovers, every poison she detects, every law she dares to question buys her one more day alive. Her only ally is King Aldric — a ruler trapped between his crown and dangerous secrets that could see him executed for heresy. As assassins close in and whispers of war spread across the kingdom, Eleanor and Aldric are drawn into a forbidden alliance that threatens to ignite rebellion against the Church itself. But the Red Moon did not bring Eleanor into the past by accident. And the deeper she digs into the kingdom’s hidden history, the more terrifying the truth becomes: The world fears the Moon because once, long ago, it taught humanity mercy. Perfect for readers who enjoy dark historical fantasy, political intrigue, forbidden romance, intelligent protagonists, and survival-driven suspense.
