The Crown of Moonlight

She saves his life with forbidden magic. The oaths carved into his skin will demand her death.

Flora Domhnall is the last of her line—her clan’s only defence in a war where human lives are cheaply spent. But when she finds a wounded immortal warrior bleeding in her woods, she makes the choice to heal him. If he dies on her land, her people will pay the price.

Chyr has spent centuries enslaved by the oaths etched into his flesh—sentient oaths that read his every thought. Obedience, violence, and sacrifice are all he’s ever known. Her fierce, impossible kindness breaks him open.

Hunted across the burning Highlands, the bond between them deepens with every mile, every touch, every quiet moment. Then an ancient power claims Flora as its champion.

The magic of the ancient Cailleach Queens has waited four hundred years for this woman.

And Chyr was made to destroy her.

"As a massive fan of Outlander, I went into this story hoping for a touch of sweeping romance, aching emotion, and lush world-building—and I was not disappointed...the same sense of fate-touched love, and that slow, simmering tension between two characters who feel destined for each other." —Lilith’s Library

"I didn't expect a Highland fantasy to feel this haunting and tender, but The Crown of Moonlight swept me away. Boone gives us Flora Domhnall, a courageous woman caught between loyalty to her clan and the dangerous pull of an immortal warrior...a slow-burn romance wrapped in rich history and magic." —Librarian/Netgalley Review

"An immersive fantasy for readers who love magic, history, and aching romance. Perfect for fans of Sarah A. Parker and Rachel Gillig. If you love stories where courage and desire collide against impossible odds, this one belongs on your shelf." —Librarian/Netgalley Review

"Boone's prose feels both timeless and cinematic—windswept moors, crumbling castles, and an undercurrent of old-world magic that hums through every scene. The dual POV structure adds depth, letting readers feel both the mortal cost of Flora's courage and the immortal ache of Chyr's duty. Their chemistry is beautifully rendered—equal parts tenderness and turmoil—never rushed, always earned. Boone deftly weaves themes of honor, sacrifice, and destiny into a narrative that's as romantic as it is epic." —ARC Reviewer
