Elior survived the Hollow’s awakening… but the Hollow has not stopped wanting him.
Now bound to the Five Guardians—Rowan, Sylas, Aeris, Elias, and Noctis—Elior is learning what it means to be chosen, cherished, and protected by the very magic that once hunted him. Their bond deepens with every breath, every touch, every shared moment of power. Together, they should be safe.
But something in the Hollow remembers him too well.
A grief‑born Guardian, twisted by devotion and loss, rises from the forest’s darkest roots. Once a protector, now a shadow of longing, he reaches for Elior with a love warped into obsession. His presence stains the Hollow’s magic, turning whispers into warnings and dreams into traps.
As the corruption spreads, the Guardians tighten their circle around Elior—but the Hollow itself begins to pull him away, calling him back to the heart that loved him wrong.
To save the Hollow, Elior must confront the one who would rather break the world than release him.
To save himself, he must decide whether love chosen freely can overcome love twisted by grief.
And to save the Guardians, he must face the truth:
Some hearts don’t stop loving.
Some hearts don’t know how.
And some hearts—once broken—become dangerous enough to swallow a world.

for holding your breath through his awakening,


for loving the constellation as fiercely as they love him.


This second book exists because you stayed.


Because you believed in a story born from moonlight, grief, and devotion.


The Moon Tear Saga is a journey of ancient wounds and new beginnings,


and I'm grateful to walk this path with you.


May this next chapter find you ready —
