Inside it sleeps Zarael — a being of immense power and a forgotten war. Her awakening changes everything.As bonds form and old wounds reopen, the survivors are pulled into a conflict that spans empires, blood seals, and the fate of what remains of humanity. Love becomes both a weapon and a salvation. Loyalty will be tested. And the price of survival may be higher than any of them imagined.Lunar Dawn is a story of loss, found family, interstellar war, and the kind of love that refuses to die — even after the end of the world.
