In a world ruled by bloodlines, power, and rigid castes, a Moth was never meant to stand beside a Lion.

Aren has spent his life learning how to survive by being quiet, obedient, and invisible. Born into one of the lowest Insect castes, he knows exactly what the world expects of him: submission.

Then he enters the palace of Azharel, the powerful Lion King.

Inside the royal Harem, Aren is an anomaly. Smaller and more fragile than the Lions surrounding him, he attracts suspicion, contempt?and an attention he does not yet understand. But Azharel sees something in the young Moth that others have overlooked, and what begins as possession slowly becomes something far more complicated.

When Aren's body begins to reveal an ancient and mysterious trait of his bloodline, everything changes.

His wings carry a secret.

A secret capable of awakening forbidden instincts in the Lions around him.

A secret that could challenge the laws separating rulers from servants, predators from Insects, and desire from obedience.

And as Azharel struggles to understand what Aren is becoming, another Lion begins to look at the Moth in a way that can no longer be dismissed.

The Mark of the Moth is a dark fantasy tale of forbidden desire, hierarchy, transformation, and awakening, set in a sensual world where instinct and power are never easily separated.

Aren has spent his entire life learning how to obey.

Now he may have to learn what it means to choose.
