And the Nightmoon clan is missing a son.

About the author

Hope Zane (they/them) writes queer fiction, particularly fantasy that straddles the line between love and horror. We aren't afraid of the dark around these parts—not the night outside the window or the shadow parts of the human soul.

Hope tells dark stories with a thread of hope woven through them, stories about sex that are really about trust, and stories about pain that are really about love.

They're here to remind you that there are things that can harm us but still nothing to fear.
