Love bound by magic. A curse sealed by the moon.

In a village where the old ways still whisper through the heather, power and faith collide beneath the light of the solstice moon. When Harailt, a disgraced noble’s son, seeks forbidden knowledge, his arrival stirs forces best left sleeping. The healer Briana prepares her family for the sacred Guardian Ritual, a rite that will bind one soul to the land’s protection.

But love and jealousy weave their own spells. When Adairia and her beloved Leathan are caught in Harailt’s dark ambition, a single act of envy sets a curse in motion that will echo across generations.

From solstice fire to spectral wolves, Midnight Ritual is a haunting tale of love, betrayal, and redemption. Where even the deepest curse can be undone by the courage to choose forgiveness over power.
