Memory of the Blood Moon by Rebecca Byron

Whispers follow her touch. Fire and light answer her call. And a goddess begins to speak…

Mira Garvie thought love was the hardest truth she would ever have to face. But when an enchanted ruby awakens memories of a life lived—and lost—beneath a blood-red moon, Mira is drawn deep into the magic of her Garvie bloodline.

As she uncovers her family’s devotion to Brigid—goddess of flame, metal, and sacrifice—her growing power comes with a terrible question: what does the goddess demand in return?

Centuries earlier, Magda, a Romani peasant, survives betrayal, brutality, and death itself—reborn with a single purpose. Damned by prophecy and bound by grief, she searches across time for the one woman powerful enough to restore what she lost.

As past and present spiral toward collision, Mira and the immortal man she loves must decide whether faith, love, and destiny can exist without cost. Because some loves endure beyond death…and some debts are written in blood.

About the Author:

Rebecca Byron lives in Grapevine, Texas. When she’s not writing or planning her next travel adventure, she’s reading—voraciously, obsessively, and with complete disregard for whatever might be on TV.

As a teen she read hand-me-down paperbacks from romance icons like Janet Dailey, LaVyrle Spencer, and Kathleen Woodiwiss. But after she read Salem’s Lot, vampires took up permanent residence in her heart. These days, she fangirls hard for Diana Gabaldon (she once wrote her a gushy fan letter in the early 2000s and has no regrets), Christopher Buehlman (because if horror could write poetry, it’d be him), and Mary Roach (science, but make it weird and funny). In addition to all things vampiric, Rebecca has a deep love for ghost stories, witch-lore, and all forms of clairvoyance—which she may or may not secretly possess.

Rebecca was born in Southern California, where she grew up riding horses, hanging out at the beach, and serving as president of her high school FFA chapter—because honestly, if you’ve never learned how to castrate a lamb or aren’t fluent discussing chimeras in citrus crops, are you truly living? She even spent a year working on a horse ranch in Southern Italy—mainly for the pasta.

Her hobbies include eating, baking (not really cooking, just baking—let’s not confuse the two), drinking cocktails, swearing a lot, barely exercising, parking with chaotic energy, and hiding her disaster of a closet from her ultra-organized husband.
