Children of Sun and Moon

To save her family, she must spy on the enemy. To save her heart, she must trust one.

Chandi has lost everything to the war against the Solar Empire—her mother, her fiancé, and the future she thought was hers. So when her cousin is married to the Solar god-king to secure an uneasy peace, Chandi follows her into the enemy's domed undersea city with two missions: protect her cousin and uncover the enemy’s secrets before the truce inevitably shatters.

The last person Chandi expects to rely on is Naresh, the Solar warrior assigned as her escort. As an Arun Guard, he's the very monster her people have been taught to fear. But the fiercely loyal, infuriatingly perceptive soldier is determined to preserve the fragile peace, forcing Chandi to question everything she believes about the enemy—and risking the anger that's kept her alive.

Then Chandi and Naresh uncover evidence of a malevolent supernatural force working in the shadows, manipulating both kingdoms toward war. As conspirators move to crack the domes and drown the Solar city, Chandi's mission becomes more dangerous than espionage alone. To stop a catastrophe, Chandi must decide whether to save the kingdom she came to protect ... or the man she was sent to betray.

Blending the elemental action of Avatar: The Last Airbender with Southeast Asian mythology and horror, this dark romantasy weaves political intrigue, slow-burn romance, and epic magic beneath the waves.
