the Village That Forgot Moon

The moon is gone. The strangest part is that no one remembers it ever existed. After escaping Bellweather, Mara Vale and the Lantern and Leaf arrive on a silent road beneath a sky with no moon-and no shadows. Beyond the road lies an isolated village of white houses, covered windows, and frightened residents who insist that the night sky has always been empty. But the wandering bookshop remembers otherwise. So does an astronomer connected to an observatory that has been erased from every map. As Mara, Rowan Grey, and their sarcastic raven Quill investigate, they uncover missing memories, impossible roads, conflicting histories, and another version of Mara who may know the moon's true name. But the moon was not stolen. It left. And bringing it back may require Mara to discover why the village chose to forget it in the first place. The Village That Forgot the Moon is the second book in The Wandering Bookshop Mysteries, a cozy fantasy mystery series filled with magical books, forgotten places, found family, gentle slow-burn romance, atmospheric secrets, and one raven with extremely strong opinions about biscuits.
