The moon hangs chained above the war-torn realm, indifferent to the suffering below.

Philip the Mad, prophet of ash and moonlit delusions, burns libraries and executes soldiers for imagined heresies. His Fire-Bearers spread terror across the marshlands as his sanity crumbles.

Malcolm the Great, once a mighty lion, fades on a poisoned throne, leaving his daughter Brenna to navigate a kingdom of conspiracies, treachery, and desperate alliances.

The Praying Mantis, a merciless northern queen, conquers keeps with insect-masked huntsmen and black silk cocoons, awakening enemies she cannot yet imagine.

In taverns, ruins, and battlefield camps, plots twist:

• Captain Athelred schemes to save his men from madness.
• Lady Brenna strikes a dangerous pact to sabotage Philip's supply lines.
• Lady Ysabel joins the mercenary company of the Broken Lance, plotting revenge.

As kingdoms collapse, and monsters sharpen their claws, rebellion stirs under the watchful, unyielding chained moon.

The Chained Moon is a richly woven grimdark epic: atmospheric, darkly humorous, and full of morally complex characters navigating a world consumed by ambition, madness, and war.

For fans of The First Law, Prince of Thorns, and Berserk.
