“A crescent moon will light your path, to an ancient power of darkest craft.”
Bea is at the end of her tether. To protect herself and Riley, her ailing two-year-old, she must fight her tyrannical husband to escape. But now mother and daughter have nowhere to go. Bea’s only option is to follow an old nursery rhyme and the rise of the crescent moon into a world of magic and secrets, witches and fae, inhabited by wonders and horrors alike.
Under the guidance of an older witch, and the witch’s vexing nephew, Bea must claim her power and master her magic, while learning to control the rage still burning in her heart — or else she might lose it all.
Path of the Crescent Moon releases on May 19, 2026, and is available for pre-order.

Isa began her journey as an avid fantasy reader who often wondered if, one day, she could write a book herself. It turned out that she could.
Isa’s work began with short stories. She was hooked from the moment she began crafting her own worlds and characters, watching them dance under her typing fingers.
For Isa, the lens of fantasy helps her understand the world; the good and the bad, the whimsical and the dark. Much more than a form of escapism, she believes that speculative fiction has the potential to show a better future for ourselves, to take us on new adventures.
Isa moved continents from her home town in Brazil to Portugal in 2017, seeking that new adventure for herself. Besides writing and reading, Isa enjoys long runs through the local parks of Porto, feeding and watering her plants with her adoring husband, and obsessing over the fanart of her favourite fantasy protagonists.
She also believes that books are political and that we can change the world one story at a time.
