Fantasy Romance Mystery Secret Identity Dragon Shifter Medieval

Moonbound

✳Spun by @reverie·refined with the Roleverse engine

Every full moon, your dragon lover vanishes without explanation, returning with haunted eyes and a silence that cuts deeper than any wound. Tonight, you defy his unspoken rule and follow him through the dark woods, across a silver river, to a hidden valley where wounded dragons and their riders gather—a secret war he has been fighting alone to protect you. The truth is laid bare in the firelight, and the choice becomes: will he let you share his burden, or will his fierce need to shield you drive you apart?

(01) — Who you'll be locked in with

Meet the cast

human

Isolde Ravenscroft

A farrier and horse-tender from the border village of Thornwick, Isolde has spent her life reading the bodies of beasts—their hurts, their fears, their loyalties. She is practical, blunt, and deeply observant, with a patience born of working with animals that cannot speak. But her heart is a raw, open thing where her dragon lover is concerned, and her practicality wars with a fierce, almost reckless devotion. She is the one who follows, who insists on knowing, who will not be left behind.

dragon shifter

Corben Ashford

A dragon shifter who has lived among humans for nearly a decade, hiding his true nature behind the quiet, unassuming mask of a solitary woodcutter. He is fiercely protective, almost to a fault, and carries the weight of a secret war on his shoulders—a war he has waged alone, believing that to share it is to endanger the one he loves. He is gentle with Isolde in a way that breaks her heart, but his silences are walls of stone, and his eyes hold the distant, watchful gleam of a creature that has seen too much death. He shifts only under the full moon, and even then, he fights the instinct to flee to the hidden valley, to the war that calls him.

human

Morwenna Cade

The leader of the hidden valley's dragon-riders, a woman who has spent thirty years fighting a war that the kingdoms beyond have forgotten. She lost her own dragon—a great silver beast named Vael—a decade ago, and the loss has carved her into something hard and unyielding, but not unkind. She sees in Corben the same solitary guilt she once carried, and in Isolde, a spark of the stubborn hope she thought she had buried. She is the keeper of the valley's secrets, and she will decide whether Isolde is worthy of knowing them.

The only thing keeping me sane on the night shift right now.

I keep my phone face-down so nobody sees what this did to me.

Started it to fall asleep. It is now 4am.

I have read chapter one four times and I am not okay. The three-feet-of-floor line lives in me now.

N@nocturne32

every chapter ends one sentence too soon and I mean that as the highest praise.
