In Between Darkness

A rich, epic romantasy about Asha, born to exist only in light, and Ryder, destined to be shrouded by darkness, whose worlds and lives collide, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Amber V. Nicole, and Stacia Stark.

In a world where the time of your birth seals your fate forever, the lines between day and night are absolute. Asha Calloway, born into daylight, is destined to receive her powers from the Sun Gods on her eighteenth birthday. Her future is bright, but a secret darkness plagues her. Raised to fear the night and those who walk within it, Asha has always abided by the strict curfew that separates her people from the cursed Moonkind. The stories of their merciless powers and cruel Moon Gods are enough to keep her up at night. But a week into her studies at an elite Sun academy, Asha's restless nights take a dangerous turn. A sleepwalking episode leads her past the boundaries of her world and directly into the path of Ryder Stormwood, a lethal and magnetic Moonkind. He is everything she has been taught to fear...so why is she so drawn to him? In a realm so intent on keeping light and dark separate, can love survive in the space between?
