The Moon Child's Wish (Moon Child, #1)

Book one in the Moon Child Series

A love so alien, it could only be achieved by magic.

When taken by slavers, Moon-Child Carine sees her best chance of survival in the Eagle Warrior who lies dying in the corner of the dirty slave cage. Trained in magic, she uses her Wish-in-Hand to save his life and then bonds with him, despite the fact that Moon-Children and the Tribes of the Eagle are natural enemies.

Ancel, famed Eagle warrior and champion of the tournaments, is furious when he realises what she’s done and vows to resist the pull of the Bonding, even though his honour requires that he repay the gift of his life by protecting her.

Carine promises that if he gets her to safety, she will find a way to release him. But the Wish has chosen well and as time passes Carine realises that their feelings for each other are not just based on magic - are they?

Sold to a den of sin as a Bonded pair, they are expected to entertain the clientele with anything that is required of them. People come from miles around to see the famed Eagle warrior fight for his lady and kneel at the feet of a Moon Child, but Ancel is increasingly reluctant to fight for the pleasure of decadents and Carine knows that the nightly battles will eventually be the death of him.

When she realises that she has the means to save him, she must examine her feelings and decide exactly what she’s willing to sacrifice for this man who has come to mean everything to her. Is their love real, or just a madness brought about by the Bonding? And if it is, just what is she prepared to do in order to set him free?
