His Shadow Luna

The Moonrise Kingdom #4

by Marissa Gilbert

A Princess in hiding. A Kingdom in peril. A mask that changes everything.

In a world where every lycan warrior is blessed by the Wolf God Fenrir with a magical gift, Princess Elene finds herself forgotten by the deity she has prayed to her whole life. Heartbroken yet resolute, she sets out to clear her Kingdom’s name without magic, only to be ambushed by a group of deadly Firstborn assassins. Mistaken for one of them, she hides among her enemies, listening to them mock her supposed death. Elene needs to hold on just a little longer before she can escape and make them all pay, but when they bring her to their lair, she faces her sworn enemy, the notorious General Forrest Romero—the very man who ordered her death.

As their eyes lock, an electric connection ignites between them, awakening a bond neither can ignore. Their wolves howl one word in their Mate.

Will they embrace their destiny, or will the shadows of the past tear them apart? New enemies are looming, and someone is hunting the Changed ones. What if only the Princess without a gift can solve this mystery?

His Shadow Luna is book IV in the Moonrise Kingdom series, but each story can be enjoyed as a standalone adventure.

His Shadow Luna delivers fast‑paced romantasy with sharp tension and addictive chemistry. Elene is a compelling heroine—vulnerable, stubborn, and easy to root for—while Forrest brings the perfect mix of danger and restraint. The worldbuilding is rich without slowing the story, and the enemies‑to‑lovers dynamic hits all the right emotional beats. A quick, intense, and satisfying read for fans of wolf‑shifter romance and high‑stakes attraction.

This is one of my favourite books in the series and Marissa Gilbert did an amazing job again taking us on a journey and bringing all the feels! Forrest and Elene very quickly became my favourite couple in the series and their story is one I would return to again and again. If you love romantasy books with strong leads, enemies-to-lovers tension, and witty banter, His Shadow Luna is a great one to check out!

Marissa has done it again! Another incredible book! Elena and Forrest are hilarious with their banter. I love how much Elene grew throughout this book and from her time during The Luna Trials (book 2 of the series). You have the humor, spice and amazing characters with so much depth. Can’t recommend this book (and this series and this author) enough. 😍

what love story doesn't have road bumps along the way? Elene's and Forrest's story is no walk in the park, but love they find in the end is all worth it. Enemies to lovers tension..my goodness..grab yourself a fan and maybe a couple cups of coffee cause you are NOT going to want to stop reading til the end. I cannot wait for the next books.

I was happy the author returned to Elene as after Luna trails I imagine it would be easy to shelve her. I really appreciate really bringing home that she is not to be trifled with and not a helpless waife. I dipped interest a little following book 3 but book 4 had me back in not being able to put it down!

Another AMAZING story. There is so shortage of action, love, trauma, betrayal and heartbreak in this one. Every character, every plot twist tugs at your heart and draws you deeper and deeper into the story. Beautiful writing and exquisite storytelling.

This is a book about redemption. She spends much of the book doubting whether she deserves love and acceptance. He spends most of the book hesitating. Neither understands the others issues. Beautiful tale of misunderstanding and burn the world for her mentality.

This was such a great book. Princess Elene is finally getting her happy ending. I loved getting to drive deeper info her character. It really helped me understand her more. Forrest was the perfect match for her, even though she didn’t think so at the beginning. Absolutely love this series.

This was quickly one of my favourite books in the series. I was not a huge fan of the main character at the beginning but quickly changed once I started reading.

His Shadow Luna is a great enemies to lovers story. Elene and Forest have amazing chemistry and the banter is chefs kiss. You can’t help but fall in love with the characters and the storyline will keep you reading throughout the night.
