Description
An arranged marriage. A deadly secret. A love that could ruin everything.
As the fractured kingdom of Serendith teeters on the edge of ruin, Elara—a sheltered, powerless princess—is forced into a perilous bargain: marry her enemy or condemn her family to death.
Trapped in a royal engagement neither of them wants, Elara becomes a prisoner in her own palace, navigating a court of secrets and faking a love she never meant to feel. But the deeper she falls for Caelan—a powerful, infuriatingly charming watermage—the harder it becomes to tell ally from enemy.
Beneath the silvery glow of the Cygnet Moon, ancient magics and deadly prophecies stir. Secrets unravel and the line between duty and desire blurs. Now, Elara must decide who to trust—and how much she’s willing to sacrifice—for her family, for her kingdom…and for a love that could destroy them all.
Under the Cygnet Moon is the start of a spellbinding new fantasy series perfect for fans of Throne of Glass and From Blood and Ash!

I was fortunate to receive an ARC copy through NetGalley
From the first paragraph, I was dropped into Elara's life and swept away.
This book grabbed my attention from the very beginning. Just when I thought I had things figured out, the plot would twist and prove me wrong. I devoured this book in 2 days!
The main characters drew me in, but also had my brain wondering what they were hiding. I love when there is an air of mystery!
It's a fast-paced fantasy with a truly unique magic system,. The plot is filled with intrigue and dangerous secrets .

Under the Cygnet Moon by Jennifer L. Adams
I was incredibly fortunate to receive an ARC copy of this book. Thank you to the publishers.
You can consider my Flabber well and truly Gasted by the final scenes in ‘Under the Signet Moon’. I was left with my jaw dropped and my eyes bugging: This is a novel to really stick with until the end.
Elara Eversong is heir to the throne and is thrust into deadly politics and a race against time to save everything she holds dear, and boy, do the twists and turns along the way really have you reading “just one more chapter” until the very end. After a slow start, I wasn’t convinced I was going to click with the characters, which is important to me in a book; however, I persevered through the first 1/3 of the book, and I’m delighted that I did, because those twists and turns that came soon after had me devour the final 2/3 of the book in one afternoon! The book's theme deals heavily with grief and loss, which takes on many forms throughout, and you see each of the characters, in various depths, dealing with this in their own way. For readers who may be sensitive to some of the loss or those who have dealt with a loss of any kind, I recommend reading a trigger warning list before diving into this journey.
This definitely rates a 3.5 - 4 star read for me, and I look forward to continuing this saga in future instalments!

This is the sort of book that builds, and you have to stick with it to get into the plot twist and then you’ll be hooked.
Elara enters into an arranged marriage with Caelan, and she falls for him… and here begin the twists and turns. The story is gripping and leaves you in need of the second book!

Elara is a sheltered princess forced into a marriage with her enemy. She falls for Caelan even though she isn't supposed to...
Love the enemies to lovers story. The story is fascinating and romantic. The characters are charismatic and easy to like.
Thanks to the publisher for the arc.
