Violet Welhaven

Realm of the Gilded Moons

Eleonor's life was ordinary. Wake up. Go to work. Ignore the gnawing sense that life is nothing but this dull, inescapable reality.
Then she was stolen. Ripped from London and thrown into a world ruled by magic, war, and a ruthless king. Ordinary is no longer an option.
Orion, a king feared as much as he is worshipped, should have let her die. Instead, he gave her his blood, forging a bond neither of them wanted - and a connection neither of them understands. But as war drums echo and magic stirs in the veins of the lost and damned, Eleonor begins to understand: she was never meant to survive here.
She was meant to shatter everything.
War is inevitable. And Eleonor's arrival might not be an accident.

About the author

Violet Welhaven writes character-driven fantasy with rich plots, darker themes, and a fascination for human flaws. Her stories are often shaped by her love of science—especially astronomy—and the way imagination can turn reality inside out. She sees each book like a film unfolding in her mind, where every scene matters and nothing is ever quite what it seems. Realm of the Gilded Moons is her debut novel.
