About this listen

Rehya is a hunter with uncanny magical abilities – and magic has long been outlawed in Mennama Valley.

Every winter, on the night of the Blood Moon, young women enter forced marriages for the valley's advancement and prosperity. But this year Governor Kyra has decreed that girls of just 15 must become Blood Moon Brides, making Rehya eligible.

When her Pa dies, Rehya's plans of escape evaporate, and she is paraded in front of suitors on Show Day. And when she is chosen to be a bride, she lashes out.

As punishment, she is sent to the Nest. There Rehya must decide: should she submit to the life of a Blood Moon Bride, or rebel – and risk everything to fight for justice?

Content warning: This audiobook contains reference to genocide, cultural erasure and gender-based violence.

Critic Reviews

'A richly realised and provocative fantasy, Blood Moon Bride shows that even in the midst of great hardship, magic can find a way.' (C.S. Pacat, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Rise)
'Richly folkloric and tragically timely.' (Lili Wilkinson, award-winning author of Pink)
'The story and writing were compelling. I trembled in dread with Rehya, I ran and fought with her. Her struggle was mine and so was her triumph.' (Isobelle Carmody, author of The Obernewtyn Chronicles and Comes the Night)
