MOTH DARK

Kika Hatzopoulou

A timeline-crossing romantic fantasy about a girl in love with a world of darkness and with the mysterious heir to its throne who must fight to prevent the destruction of all she loves.
Sascia has always loved the Dark. Six years ago, when the world she knew collided with the world of the Dark, she found it thrilling rather than terrifying. Now, she spends her days studying Dark creatures or seeking them out in the shadows where they thrive.

Then, one day, she impossibly pulls a person from the Dark. A person who shouldn't exist. And they're here to kill her. Nugau, the heir to the Darkworld, claims to be delivering a sentence for Sascia's betrayal in a battle she's never heard of, in a war that hasn't happened.

Sascia escapes with her life, barely. But tensions are brewing between her world and the Dark, and it's not long before she discovers that she and Nugau are bound together by forces they don't understand. As they grow closer, crossing worlds and timelines, they must find a way to fight for peace and for each other.

Kika Hatzopoulou is the bestselling author of Threads That Bind and its sequel, Hearts That Cut. She is a native Greek and current Londoner and holds an MFA in writing for children from the New School. In her free time, she enjoys urban quests and gastronomical adventures while narrating entire book and movie plots with her partner.

A dimension-crossing, time-twisting romantasy.

Darkly dreamy, timely, and expertly crafted, Moth Dark is a bittersweet love letter to the wondrous and the inexplicable. Within the strange beauty of the Darkworld, you will find star-crossed romance, a heady blend of science and magic, and brilliant characters determined to end the cycle of violence. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

An engaging urban fantasy with an important message.

A lush, breathtaking, and wholly unique fantasy, with a devastating star-crossed romance and a world that lifts off the page like a fluttering of moths. I was entranced.

Beautifully written and deeply compellingMoth Dark is an absolute triumph of a book. Kika Hatzopoulou masterfully weaves together an engaging, unexpected plot with the kind of swoon-worthy romance that spans worlds and timelines. Sascia and Nugau's story will leave you sobbing and desperate to read it all over again. I was hooked from the very start.
