About A Pillar of Blood and Moonlight: For nineteen-year-old hunter Elías, the dark forest was a place of quiet warnings—until the night a brutal beast took his eight-year-old sister from him. Shattered by grief, he stalks the freezing woods expecting a rabid animal, only to unearth the Drugoi: a ruthless, predatory reptilian creature born of desperate deals better left unspoken. By confronting this hidden horror, Elías inadvertently kicks wide open an ancient door to visceral, bone-chilling forces. Now, swept into a world of hidden dangers and deep betrayals, he must navigate the terrifying physical consequences of the hunt—while bearing the crushing weight of not measuring up to the expectations of what masculinity should be, and the suffocating, silent ache of an unrequited love.
