A town of glowing lanterns. A vanished memory. A love story waiting in the fog.
When failed illustrator Mira Vale inherits The Wick & Wild, a candle shop in the secretive October town of Hearthwick Hollow, she plans to sign the papers, sell the property, and leave before Halloween.
But the shop has a locked room, a brass key warm as a heartbeat, and letters that glow only beneath moonlight. During the Lanternwake Festival, a beloved lantern maker disappears, an old family scandal resurfaces, and Mira discovers she can read memories hidden inside ink, wax, and fallen leaves.
Her only ally is Rowan Ashford, a guarded bookstore owner whose family name is tangled in the town's darkest legend. As the final lantern approaches, Mira must uncover who is stealing memories from Hearthwick Hollow before the truth about her own bloodline changes everything.
The Moonletter Lanterns is a cozy Halloween romantasy mystery for readers who love enchanted small towns, slow-burn tension, candlelit secrets, magical letters, autumn atmosphere, and a mystery with a soft romantic glow.
