The #1 internationally bestselling phenomenon, When the Moon Hatched, is a fast-paced fantasy romance featuring an immersive, vibrant world with mysterious creatures, a unique magic system, and a love that blazes through the ages.

The Creators did not expect their beloved dragons to sail skyward upon their end. To curl into balls just beyond gravity’s grip, littering the sky with tombstones. With moons. They certainly did not expect them to FALL.

As an assassin for the rebellion group Fíur du Ath, Raeve’s job is to complete orders and never get caught. When a rival bounty hunter turns her world upside down, blood spills, hearts break, and Raeve finds herself imprisoned by the Guild of Nobles—a group of powerful fae who turn her into a political statement.

Crushed by the loss of his great love, Kaan Vaegor took the head of a king and donned his melted crown. Now on a tireless quest to quell the never-ebbing ache in his chest, he is lured by a clue into the capitol’s high-security prison where he stumbles upon the imprisoned Raeve …

Echoes of the past race between them.

There’s more to their story than meets the eye, but some truths are too poisonous to swallow.

"A wild ride that thrills as much as it enchants . . . This remarkable book is an instant classic.” — Thea Guanzon, New York Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars

When The Moon Hatched breathes new, beautiful life into the genre, as Sarah A. Parker weaves lyrical prose with undeniable chemistry. I laughed, I cried, I got everything out of this. It’s an absolutely stunning fantasy world that everyone should sink their teeth into.” — Raven Kennedy, internationally bestselling author of The Plated Prisoner series

This book was written well and kept me slightly confused until about a third of the book was left. I can’t wait for the next one to come out.

The first 150 pages, I was debating on not finishing. Then, the story really picked up! Beautiful, sad story. Felt like I needed to go back and reread the first 150 pages to understand the story better. Loved the story by the end and can’t wait until the next book!

This will be short.....Idk what to say, 🤦‍♀️ this story was ok in the beginning but turned one big lump of a confusing mess. I lost track towards the end, which led me to more questions than answers, mainly asking myself, "WTH just happened?"

The perfect cure for an Onyx Storm and/or ACOTAR hangover. Fae AND dragons… yes please and thank you. I loved Raeve’s witty, sharp-tongued, dark sense of humor. It took a few chapters to acclimate to Parker’s writing style but I ended up really enjoying the unique tone of voice. I didn’t want this book to end I cannot wait for book 2.
