Publisher's summary

THE OVERNIGHT VIRAL SENSATION AND NATIONAL BESTSELLER

The bestselling phenomenon, When the Moon Hatched, is a fast-paced fantasy romance featuring an immersive, vibrant world with mysterious creatures, a unique magic system, and a love that blazes through the ages.

The Creators did not expect their beloved dragons to sail skyward upon their end. To curl into balls just beyond gravity’s grip, littering the sky with tombstones. With moons. They certainly did not expect them to FALL.

As an assassin for the rebellion group Fíur du Ath, Raeve’s job is to complete orders and never get caught. When a rival bounty hunter turns her world upside down, blood spills, hearts break, and Raeve finds herself imprisoned by the Guild of Nobles—a group of powerful fae who turn her into a political statement.

Crushed by the loss of his great love, Kaan Vaegor took the head of a king and donned his melted crown. Now on a tireless quest to quell the never-ebbing ache in his chest, he is lured by a clue into the capitol’s high-security prison where he stumbles upon the imprisoned Raeve....

Echoes of the past race between them.

There’s more to their story than meets the eye, but some truths are too poisonous to swallow.

""A wild ride that thrills as much as it enchants . . . This remarkable book is an instant classic.” — Thea Guanzon, New York Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars

When The Moon Hatched breathes new, beautiful life into the genre, as Sarah A. Parker weaves lyrical prose with undeniable chemistry. I laughed, I cried, I got everything out of this. It’s an absolutely stunning fantasy world that everyone should sink their teeth into.” — Raven Kennedy, internationally bestselling author of The Plated Prisoner series

Mixed Depths: Navigating Complexity with Potential


An unconventional writing style sets this book apart. While the plot is rich with activity, it occasionally leaves readers like me grappling to keep track of characters, events, and locations. Yet, amidst the confusion, there's a glimmer of hope that future installments will shed light on lingering mysteries. Despite the challenges, diving into this series is still worth the journey.

slow to start but amazing

someone said it has "way too much erotica" I'd have to disagree. 1 chili peper. there is open door but it's a slow burner, think ACOTAR 1.

slow to start. lots of would building, which is a plus for me. when the story gets going, it really gets going. read over half of the book in one day.

A+++ narration! both the female and male are fantastic

The narration is extraordinary.

The narrators were amazing. The story is intricate and they portrayed all of the emotion beautifully. They captured the essence of each character flawlessly.

Unique Fantasy read

I couldn’t stop listening but now that the book is done I’m left with even more questions. I’m glad to know the story is a trilogy but upset at myself for not realizing this just came out so now I have to wait lol. I did enjoy reading the book but I do feel like parts were dragged on and others gone over too quickly. This kind of reminds me of watching Dune in theaters lol confused but knowing there was more to come because what did I just watch lol. This book was thrilling and unique so I will continue the series but I did like FBAA WAY more and wished people did not compare the two since every book in that series felt like a stand alone in the sense of emotional enjoyment. This felt like a tease and more mysterious without real answers. Always, the narrators were lovely so worth a listen but just understand it’s not as emotionally satisfying as other popular books.

So good!

Very much worth the credit. Off to read book 2 in Kindle Unlimited because it isn’t available yet here. The narrators did an excellent job. They seemed to work well together.

Rich with emotion, interesting world, magic, and creatures

I didn't love it immediately. It definitely took me 6+ chapters to be interested, so I would say my interest was slow to build up, but that's not to say the action was slow. It was immediate.

There were very few times when I had the thought that the stupid characters just need to talk to each other.

I found the dragons, the origin story, the magic, the world difficult to understand for a long time. I'm not sure if it was the names or the lack of substance to anchor anything to that would allow me reference points.

Regardless, about 30% in, I was invested, intrigued, and ready to see this through. The book feels more high fantasy than others with similar subject matter in that the world building, the adventure, the breadth of creatures, and complexity is beyond what you find in a quick read dragon story. No, this tale is epic, and I expect the series to be much loved by those with a heart full of dragon flame and a thirst for adventure, battle, and discovery.

This book will be one I recommend to others.

The voice narration for the audiobook was done well. Clear differences between characters with no odd tone or inflection or any myriad of annoying signatures that are frustrating from some narrators.

Kept me guessing.

Great story. Draws you in right away. Use the PDF, it’s hard to understand all the names/terms just from hearing them. Seeing names and definitions/descriptions helped me visually. That’s something that I struggle with sometimes with an audio book that has major world building with strange names and terms. Actual Reading it makes it easier to go back and understand. Sometimes audio is difficult, while convenient. So the PDF reference helped a lot. Main frustration….I went into it thinking it was a stand alone. Didn’t realize until the end that it must be a part of an unfinished set since it just came out. A month ago. If I had known that, I probably would not have read it until all or most of the other books have been published. I actually like to just go from book to book to book and not have to wait years in between. I usually lose interest and forget to follow back up a year or two later or whenever the next book comes out. So be forewarned that it does not end in this book or even answer many of the questions. That being said, it was a really good story and set the stage for even more drama and intrigue in the future.
