About this listen

THE OVERNIGHT VIRAL SENSATION AND NATIONAL BESTSELLER

The bestselling phenomenon, When the Moon Hatched, is a fast-paced fantasy romance featuring an immersive, vibrant world with mysterious creatures, a unique magic system, and a love that blazes through the ages.

The Creators did not expect their beloved dragons to sail skyward upon their end. To curl into balls just beyond gravity’s grip, littering the sky with tombstones. With moons. They certainly did not expect them to FALL.

As an assassin for the rebellion group Fíur du Ath, Raeve’s job is to complete orders and never get caught. When a rival bounty hunter turns her world upside down, blood spills, hearts break, and Raeve finds herself imprisoned by the Guild of Nobles—a group of powerful fae who turn her into a political statement.

Crushed by the loss of his great love, Kaan Vaegor took the head of a king and donned his melted crown. Now on a tireless quest to quell the never-ebbing ache in his chest, he is lured by a clue into the capitol’s high-security prison where he stumbles upon the imprisoned Raeve....

Echoes of the past race between them.

There’s more to their story than meets the eye, but some truths are too poisonous to swallow.

""A wild ride that thrills as much as it enchants . . . This remarkable book is an instant classic.” — Thea Guanzon, New York Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars

When The Moon Hatched breathes new, beautiful life into the genre, as Sarah A. Parker weaves lyrical prose with undeniable chemistry. I laughed, I cried, I got everything out of this. It’s an absolutely stunning fantasy world that everyone should sink their teeth into.” — Raven Kennedy, internationally bestselling author of The Plated Prisoner series

Best book for 2024

I don’t want to give away anything about this book, however I want to make it clear that that this book is in my top 3 books ever and is for sure the best book for this year.
Is so beautiful written, the storytelling is flawless, this author not only knows how to build a world but knows how to make you feel that you want to be a part of that world. I found is pretty sad as a story but I also laugh and felt in love with the characters. Not to say probably I’ve just met the kindest character in history. Please consider reading/ listening to this book!

New and Exciting

This book was fantastic. It gives the genre something fresh and exciting to cling to. I am sadden to find out the next book will not be out until next year but I'll be trying to busy myself with other series while I wait.

Loved it, rich with detail and so original

I loved this book. I loved the rich detail of a completely original world and I loved sinking into it. I found the story so engaging. The narrators were great.

The problem is the narrator, not the story

The story is amazing, I bought a physical copy of it since I cannot get over how the narrator sounds like a robot. A graphic audio of this would be great. Honestly skip the audiobook (really robotic) and just read the book.

Confusing and boarded

Honestly, love the world building aspect of story. But I spend 35 chapters trying to piece who is who together. I know the next part is intentional the fmc being naive. ( she just want to live in her bubble and it madness for how long it take for that bubble to pop) . I feel this book is overrated

Oh, My Heart!

Such a fabulous book..I don't even know where to start. A little confusing at first will all of the characters and creatures but so eloquently written. The author clearly took the time to develop a plot that will tie well beyond this first book. As the reader, we have many questions answered, but many more treasures I I'm looking forward to having revealed in the following books.
I quite enjoyed the narrators. The female voice did a great job of narrating both male and female in her chapters, with a diverse vocal range and array of accents for multiple characters.
The only sort-of flaws from the narration I noticed was a volume difference from the male and female read narrations. I would turn up a few clicks for the male, then need to reduce it for the female. That didn't deter me from the book though, and I would still recommend it to others 😊

Not as good as the hype

Honestly I saw so many raving reviews about this book I thought I would love it but nope.

It took me forever to get into it, there’s a bit of an information dump and it can take a little while getting used to everything.

I still get a little confused when they talk about different moon cycles, like days, weeks, months or years. Because of this I never fully understand how old the lead protagonist is or the gap of time she has missing in her memory.

The world seems cool, the love story is cute enough. The inner dialogue gets really annoying.

I felt like the book didn’t really get interesting until the last couple chapters….
So now we will have to wait for the next book or give up on the series now 🤷‍♀️

Dragons and love and brutality

This book is sooo good. Shocked me when most books don’t, magical, beautiful, heartbreaking. I couldn’t put it down and will absolutely be reading it again while I not so patiently wait for book two!

Beautiful story, can't wait for the next one

It was difficult to understand the magic system and the world the first time I listened but as soon as I finished I had the urge to relisten. Second time around was amazing. one of my favorites of all time now.
