Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of Malachite Moon by Kimberly CC. This story is published by Histria Kids, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to outstanding works for children that both educate and entertain.
Malachite Moon introduces Kara Midthorn, a young woman caring for her ailing grandmother in a city where magic is fading and her own unusual gift could make her a target. When a wooden box releases a man held captive for centuries, Kara is drawn into a search for the source of the city’s decline.
What gives the book its pull is the scale of that search. Kara’s private worry about her grandmother sits beside the question of what a whole community loses when its powers disappear. Faeries and hidden realms widen the story, but the human stakes stay close: who can be trusted, what can be repaired, and what it costs to ask for help. For readers drawn to fantasy that makes room for care as well as danger, Malachite Moon offers a heroine whose first responsibility is not to save the world. It is to look after someone she loves.
Praise for Malachite Moon:
A magic system built on moonlight, a city full of watered-down creatures, and a sixteen-year-old girl who’s spent her whole life thinking she’s just a little too weird, Malachite Moon is the kind of middle-grade fantasy that sneaks up on you with its charm before you realize how much worldbuilding it’s quietly done. — Deviant Quill
