About the product

Featured book: The Sun and the Void by Gabriela Romero Lacruz

Under the cover of night, secrets gather. During the day, truths come to light.

Our featured book this month is The Sun and the Void by Gabriela Romero Lacruz. When a young woman is saved from death by her estranged sorceress grandmother, she becomes entangled with a mysterious family and a dark god. We loved this epic sapphic fantasy inspired by South American folklore, where ancient magics thrive and secret powers threaten to seduce!

She graduated with a BS in chemical engineering from the University of Houston and, after a stint in oil and gas, launched The Moonborn, a clothing, accessories, and stationery brand featuring her own illustrations.
