About This Book
The Hunter's Moon introduces readers to sixteen-year-old cousins Gwen and Findabhair, who share a passion for Irish mythology. Their adventure begins when they challenge an ancient law by sleeping in a fairy mound, leading Findabhair to be taken into Faerieland by the King of Faeries. Gwen, determined to rescue her, embarks on a perilous quest, encountering a diverse cast of characters and navigating the complex, often dangerous, world of the 'little people.' The story explores themes of friendship, loyalty, first love, and sacrifice as the cousins confront an ancient evil. While the original publisher listed a younger age range, the book's themes, character ages, and plot complexity are best suited for middle grade to early young adult readers, approximately ages 10-14.
