The Hunting Moon – The highly anticipated sequel to The Luminaries by New York Time s bestselling author (Paperback)

Our summary description

As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.

Winnie Wednesday should feel triumphant. She survived the hunter trials, restored her family’s standing among the Luminaries, and become a name people recognise. Instead, the attention sits uneasily, and the stories being told about her do not match what she knows to be true.

In The Hunting Moon, a new threat stalks Hemlock Falls, killing hunters one by one. Winnie is certain the blame has landed on the wrong creature. The whispers of something older and more deliberate are being ignored, dismissed as fear or superstition. As always, certainty belongs to those with the most power.

Following the trail left by her father draws Winnie deeper into the history of the Dianas and the magic that reshaped the town years earlier. Each answer complicates the last, blurring the line between protector and predator.

The novel holds its tension in doubt rather than spectacle, exploring how legacy, belief, and fear can distort the truth. Winnie’s challenge is not only to survive, but to be heard before the wrong story becomes permanent.
