Vesper Starforge The Hunter's Moon - An MM Fantasy Romance of Curses and Mercy

Silas has trained his whole life to serve the Hunter's Guild. Monsters are threats. Threats are tracked, cornered, and killed. That is the code, and his first solo commission should be simple enough: travel to the mountain village of Oakhaven and end the beast terrorizing its people. But the evidence refuses to behave like a monster should. The creature hesitates before it kills. It leaves handprints beside claw marks. A child swears she saw it crying in the moonlight. When Silas finally comes face-to-face with the so-called beast, he finds not mindless savagery, but fear, intelligence, and a cursed man named Emrys who has been hunted for what the moon forces him to become. Emrys has spent years hiding from villagers, hunters, and his own body. Every full moon risks another transformation, another loss of control, another reason for the world to call him a monster. Silas should turn him over to the Guild. Instead, he begins to question everything he was taught. Forced into uneasy alliance, Silas and Emrys must search for the truth behind the curse before the Guild closes in and Oakhaven's fear turns deadly. In hidden caves, storm-dark forests, and the fragile warmth of a mountain refuge, suspicion becomes trust, and trust becomes something far more dangerous. Because saving Emrys may mean betraying the only life Silas has ever known. The Hunter's Moon is an MM fantasy romance of curses, mercy, monster-hunter tension, slow-burn trust, and the dangerous hope that even a beast may be worthy of love.
