Description
In a world of gilded lies, blood is the only truth.
When twenty-five-year-old Eleonor experiences sleep paralysis—again—she expects the usual horror. What she doesn’t expect is the demon dragging her with him. .
Torn from London and thrown into a realm of magic, cursed forests, and a war devouring kingdoms, Eleonor should have died.
But the wheel of fate turned in an unexpected way—unleashing a chain of events the Pixies never planned for.
Orion—ruthless, feared, and bound by duty—saves her with his blood. Not out of mercy, but because something about her doesn’t make sense.
And mysteries can be dangerous.
Now trapped in a world where monsters wear crowns and angels kneel in blood, Eleonor must survive brutal politics, magic that doesn’t play fair, and assassination attempts at every turn.
But the deeper she’s pulled into the game, the clearer it becomes:
She wasn’t meant to survive.
She was meant to shatter everything.

Moons, Magic, and Mayhem—Oh My! 🌙💀✨
Hold onto your tea and your sanity—Realm of the Gilded Moons drags you through sleep paralysis, demon drama, and dark-fantasy chaos so fierce you’ll forget to breathe (in the best way).

Eleanor’s story begins with what she believes to be an episode of sleep paralysis, only to discover she’s been taken by a sinister demon. What follows is an enthralling journey into a magical world that seems to have lost its magic wielders, or perhaps not entirely.
I absolutely loved Eleanor as a protagonist. Her dry sense of humor, resilience, and courage shine through, even as she’s surrounded by alluring angels, dangerously handsome men, and constant peril. She remains grounded, witty, and strong, a truly compelling heroine.
The world-building and character development in this book are exceptional, drawing readers deeply into the mystery and beauty of this otherworldly realm. My only complaint? Having to wait far too long for the next installment!

Realm of the Gilded Moons swept me into a darkly magical world where nothing is as it seems. The story begins with Eleonor, a modern woman dragged from her London life into a brutal realm of blood, power, and ancient curses. From her eerie sleep paralysis to the ruthless rule of Orion, every scene pulses with tension and beauty. The writing is lush and cinematic—full of grit, humor, and heart—and the alternating points of view make the world feel alive and layered. I especially loved how the author blended myth, violence, and emotion without ever losing pace. It’s the kind of fantasy that keeps you up past midnight, promising yourself “just one more chapter.”

🔥 Sleep paralysis? More like full-on demon abduction! From page one, Realm of the Gilded Moons had me clutching my blanket and whispering “nope!” as Eleonor gets snatched into a realm crawling with blood-soaked angels, pixies, and one seriously dangerous hottie named Orion. This book is wild—dark, twisty, and totally addictive. I laughed, gasped, and maybe yelled “girl, RUN!” once or twice. If you love magic, mayhem, and characters who don’t play nice, grab this one. It’s fantasy with teeth—and I was here for every bite. 😈✨
