Moonlight and Storm

2023

Shapeshifters, conspiracy theories, and an urban myth brought to life. Welcome to the Australian High Country, where secrets and magic lie beneath the melting snow . After Grace Atkinson's city life crumbles, she’s forced to move back to her childhood home—the sleepy alpine town of Targangil. When she arrives, she finds herself in the centre of not only her own family drama, but a flurry of mysterious black panther sightings—elusive predators rumoured to roam the wilderness, but whose existence has never been proven. But when Grace comes face to face with a black panther in the shadow of a looming storm, she becomes determined to uncover the truth behind the sightings once and for all. But her world is shattered when she witnesses the panther transform…into a human being. Lawson's hidden shapeshifting abilities have always been a closely guarded secret, but as his past catches up with him, Grace's discovery of his true identity exposes them both to danger. Because he is hunted…and now so is she. Moonlight and Storm is the first book in the Australian High Country series. Set in the wild and romantic Snowy Mountains, it tells the story of Grace Atkinson, who discovers a secret world of shapeshifting black panthers…and the evil forces who hunt them.

An impossible enemy. A terrible struggle. Under the starlit sky, the hunter will become the hunted. Grace Atkinson’s life is in turmoil. After discovering that shapeshifting black panthers roam the Australian High Country, she finds herself alone as she grapples with the aftermath of the attack that almost killed her. An attack that’s left her with irreparable scars…and a deadly secret. Shapeshifter Lawson vanishes, knowing that his presence will bring nothing but danger to the small alpine community, and to the woman he cares deeply about. Just knowing him puts her in harm’s way, but it’s his guilt over her attack that forces him to take action and wage a war of his own. But amongst blood and starlight, Grace finds herself at the mercy of a powerful and secretive enemy who will stop at nothing to capture and control the magic running through Lawson’s veins. It’s a threat so dark, it could bring her entire world crashing down in an instant…and she’s forced to face it alone. Grace’s only chance for survival is to accept the truth. That the terrible secret she’s been carrying since her attack may be the only thing that can save her. Blood and Starlight is the second book in the Australian High Country series. The aftermath of Grace’s attack has left her with irreparable scars and Lawson has vanished to keep her safe. But the one person she might need protection from…is herself.
