Black Moon

This audiobook is about a path. About what makes us who we are—and how the road we walk changes us. It is also a book about choice: about what we choose, and what people and gods choose for us—fate and its accidental circumstances.

Gerda di Chenta could have had many different destinies. She might have become a spoiled child in a rich aristocrat’s house or a victim of a crime; a court lady or a merciless killer; a powerful sorceress or a lucky mercenary; a wife, daughter, lover, and friend. She could have become anyone at all—but she became the one who decides for herself who she will be.

The Black Moon is both the day she was born and the symbol of her fate: the name of the Great Dark Goddess who sympathizes with her, and also the nickname of Gerda herself. Thus, Gerda di Chenta’s adventures, nicknamed the Black Moon, begin exactly where the fairy tale ends and where life begins—as it really is.
