Moonlit Reckoning

In the heart of New Mexico‘s sun-scorched desert, Moonlit Reckoning weaves a magical realism romance that pulses with raw emotion and ancient magic. Curandera Lila Veyra inherits Shadow‘s End, a ranch humming with ley line energy, and a legacy steeped in Tewa and Navajo mythology. Guided by her mentor Marisol‘s journal, Lila channels the power of Kohana, the Tewa Earth Mother, and the Navajo Holy People to heal a fractured community haunted by whispers of bruja and a history of healer persecution. Alongside Caleb, a man torn by his father‘s betrayal, Lila performs rituals of searing vulnerability, their love and fear binding them to the land through a glowing obsidian amulet. As they confront Tucker‘s hostile faction, their tear-soaked chants and trembling touches ignite the desert‘s magic, blending Tewa Twin War Gods and Navajo Blessingway traditions to forge unity. Set against a vivid backdrop of sage, piñon, and flowing springs, this Southwest magical realism tale explores love‘s power to mend divides. Perfect for fans of Isabel Allende and Rudolfo Anaya, Moonlit Reckoning is a desert spiritual love story of redemption, legacy, and the enduring heartbeat of the land.
