About The Killing Moon

In Gujaareh, peace is enforced by Gatherers: priests who harvest dream magic to heal the worthy and kill those judged corrupt. When Ehiru discovers innocent dreamers are being murdered in the goddess’s name, he must protect a woman marked for death and confront corruption inside the temple before war and forbidden magic consume the city.
