Bought by the Bone Fae (Moonlight Monster Market #3)

When a kingdom hunts for hope, it steals it—one girl at a time.

Nara was born with nothing but her stories—tales spun like thread, bright enough to distract from the plague hollowing her lungs and the fear hollowing her village. When the moon turns full and tribute is demanded, she offers herself, believing her voice will buy her people one last month of mercy.

But in the auction beneath the earth, her story does the unthinkable. It stirs interest in the darkest of fae.

Lord Ashen—collector of endings, curator of death, a creature of bone and shadow—claims her not for her beauty or her fear, but for the unfinished tale she refuses to surrender. In his palace of ivory halls and preserved tragedies, Nara finds impossible words that take shape, memories that breathe, and a monster who was once a man with a heart worth dying for.

As Nara and Ashen uncover the truth buried in her stories, they learn she carries more than imagination in her veins. She carries a fragment of a shattered fae queen—a woman broken by love, cursed by grief, and willing to spill oceans of mortal blood to reclaim what she lost.

The queen is coming for her pieces.

And the largest one lives in Nara.

With the full moon approaching and an ancient bargain tightening its grip, Nara must decide whether to finish the story that binds her to Ashen…
or unravel the one that could destroy them both.

Because some endings kill.
And some rewrite the world.
