The Moon Rogue by L.M.R. Clarke
Follow Emmy on their journey from humble and abused apothecary's apprentice to lynchpin in a plan to save the world from 'Dark' magic in this fantastical coming of age story.
Prince Mantos, rightful heir of the Masvam Empire, is murdered to allow Dorai, the Dark Goddess, to seek ultimate power. However, all is not lost, for Mantos has died once before and mysteriously returned from the dead.
Into this tumultuous conflict steps Emmy, a slave who escaped captivity, only to be enslaved once more. Recognised by the healer Rel, who shares Emmy's unusual skin colouring, as a descendent of the Uloni, a race brought forth into the world by the daughter of gods, Emmy may be the key to returning balance to this world.
Enemies become friends, and lovers become enemies as the battle lines are drawn in a desperate struggle to save the world from Dark Magic.
The Moon Rogue is a must read for fans of Becky Albertalli, Emily M. Danforth and Leigh Bardugo.
