Loyalty and betrayal, hope and despair, One Moonlit Night tells the captivating story of a husband and wife separated by secrets as well as by war. ‘So complex and moving, with a sense of mystery as powerful as the sense of love and betrayal’ Cathy Kelly Forced to leave their family home in London after it is bombed in the Blitz, Maddie and her two young daughters take refuge at Knyghton, the beautiful country house in Norfolk where Maddie’s husband Philip spent the summers of his childhood. But Philip is gone, believed to have been killed in action in northern France. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Maddie refuses to give up hope that she and Philip will some day be reunited. Arriving at Knyghton, Maddie feels closer to her missing husband, but she soon realises that there’s a reason Philip has never spoken to her about his past. Something happened at Knyghton one summer years before. Something that involved Philip, his cousin Lyle and a mysterious young woman named Flora.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who Swallowed the Moon? The bilao-sized moon shines brightly. It then slowly gets to be darker and darker that it seems to disappear in the night sky. After a few minutes, it becomes lighter and lighter until it goes back to being bright and full. This is the eclipse of the moon, or laho, as Filipinos call it. In the olden days, Filipinos came up with stories to explain the disappearance (laho) of the moon. Three mythical creatures, they say, would cause the lunar eclipse. One is the Bakunawa, a giant sea serpent with a mouth the size of a lake. The laho happens when the Bakunawa eats up the moon. People have to shout and shout to make the monster spit out the moon back into the sky. Another huge creature, this time a bird as large as an island, would fly from its home outside the sky to try and devour the moon. Minokawathat is how it is calledwould manage to swallow it. And so, people make a lot of noise to distract Minokawa so that the moon can jump out. The Arimoanga is a very big lion. Enamoured by the beauty of the moon, the Arimoanga would embrace the moon, bringing darkness on the face of the earth. Scared, the people would chant at the top of the lungs: Arimoanga, Arimoanga, bitawan mo ang buwan. Arimoanga, Arimoanga, let go of the moon. Distracted by this racket, Arimoanga would loosen its embrace, allowing the moon to run away. Of course, all three creatures would fail in their attempts to take in the moon. And so, up to this day, as the story goes, the Bakunawa, Minokawa, or Arimoanga continues to lurk the night sky and pursues the moon.

They are commodities for sale, available for purchase by the highest bidder. So when the madame of a notorious brothel in a far-off city offers a king's ransom to purchase Amaris, Nox ends up taking her place — while Amaris is drawn away to the mountains, home of mysterious assassins. Even as they take up new lives and identities, Nox and Amaris never forget one thing: they will stop at nothing to reunite. But the threat of war looms overhead, and the two are inevitably swept into a conflict between human and fae, magic and mundane. With strange new alliances, untested powers, and a bond that neither time nor distance could possibly break, the fate of the realms lies in the hands of two orphans — and the love they hold for each other.
