Withdrawn
and with a reputation for her strange, eccentric ways, young Lady Moira
Rochmond is old to be unwed. Rumors say she has been seen barefoot in the
orchard, is awake all night in moon-struck rambles, and sleeps all day. Some
even claim her ghostly pallor and aloof manner are signs of illness, a curse,
or insanity.
The
hopes of the peaceful succession to her father’s fief lie in an advantageous
marriage. Moira, however, has a hard time attracting suitors. When one does
show interest, her family pushes for a decision.
Almost
resigned to the fact that she has no choice but to play the part she has been
given in life, Moira is faced with Owain, a member of the mysterious Blaidyn
creatures and a new guard in her father’s castle, specifically tasked to keep
her safe. He is different from other people she knows and when one night under
the full moon she makes the acquaintance of the wolf who shares Owain’s soul,
she starts to trust him and seek his presence. As he becomes one of the few
individuals who doesn’t make her want to hide and retreat, she wants to learn
more about him and they grow closer until they share a kiss one night under the
moon.
Faced
with feelings and desires that overthrow everything she thought she knew about
herself, Moira knows non-the-less that they have to be kept utterly secret.
However much they try, they continue to be drawn to each other until one night,
Owain discovers something about Moira that shakes him to his core.

About the Author:
Laila Blake, born in 1985 in Cologne/Germany, is a bi-lingual author and
translator. She has an MA in Specialized Translating and has worked with
several research projects in Applied Linguistics and language acquisition.
Teaching English to adults is still paying most of her bills.
Growing up with a love of stories, she started her first epic fantasy
story at the age of 13. It didn’t grow past a few chapters and since then, she
has gone through a myriad of ideas and beginnings, both in English and German,
has learned a lot and lived a lot and dreamed of being a writer.
In 2013, Crimson Romance picked her debut novel for publication and she
has been working on its sequel ever since. In the meantime, she has also gotten
short-stories into several erotic anthologies to be published later this year,
and has been working on other projects and ideas.
“By the Light of the Moon” will be released on the 8th of April and
constitutes her very first novel. The second book in the Lakeside Series,
tentatively titled “A Taste of Winter” will follow later the same year.
