When the Moon Hatched
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The #1 internationally bestselling phenomenon, When the Moon Hatched, is a fast-paced epic 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 a deadly 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, the grieving fae king 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 with dark fantasy elements woven through their tale, 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

I loved the family tree lore and the fierce love story. Raeve & Slatra have my heart just as much as Raeve & Kaan. I will say the only thing I didn’t feel was necessary was Veya’s POV when it came to getting Raeve’s diary. By the time Veya discovered where the diary was and the secret that Kyrazi is Kaan’s & Raeve’s daughter, I had already put that together. I would have loved more POVs from Kaan & Kyrazi, but I imagine we’ll get more of that in the next book. Can’t wait!!

I'm calling it now – this is a serious contender for my favorite read of the year, and I can't wait for the sequel! It has everything you could want from a high fantasy: dragons, magic, fae, magical creatures, and even a love story. The emotional depth of Raeve's journey is phenomenal! A true rollercoaster of heartbreak and fury that kept me utterly hooked. So much so, that every time I had to put it down I couldn't stop thinking about it and will likely keep thinking about in weeks to come. And Kaan? He's the epitome of a cinnamon roll MMC. I found my new book boyfriend! While the foundation of the magic system feels familiar it's elevated with a unique concept. The way each element is intrinsically linked to one of the Creators added a rich layer to the lore. I loved the detail of each Creator having a distinct elemental song that was audible to individuals who were gifted and that an individual could hear more than one of these elemental songs. The subtle detail that only one person has been noted as hearing Caelis' song was absolutely noted and I'm intrigued to find out more. Overall, a wonderful read! I will recommend this to everyone I know until they're tired of hearing me talk about it.
