Synopsis

Princess Kharis carries the soul of a fire demon inside her. If she loses control, she will be executed. If she survives, she may destroy everyone she loves.

Her only refuge is her adopted sister, Saya, whose rare gift tempers Kharis’s volatile magic. Together, they endure a court that fears Kharis’s power and covets it in equal measure. As political factions close in and family loyalties fracture, Kharis learns her future allows only one path: madness, then death.

When a new tutor offers the sisters a glimpse of life beyond fear and confinement, hope stirs. But human ambition sharpens, and the demon’s silvery voice grows ever more persuasive. To save herself and protect the sister she loves, Kharis must confront the very thing that condemns her. Her curse.

The attempt may be her undoing. Or it may be the key to reshaping her future.

Darkly lyrical and sweeping in scope, this coming-of-age epic blends intricate world-building with heart-stopping magic, palace intrigue, and the fierce bond between two sisters fighting for their freedom in a world where power demands a terrible price.

Perfect for readers of Robin Hobb, Samantha Shannon, and R.F. Kuang, A Land of Shadows and Moss invites readers into a vivid realm of dangerous magic, treacherous ambition, and a heroine forced to choose who she will become.

Will Kharis accept the fate written for her, or claim a future of her own?
