    Summary

    There is no escape.

    The earth is dry and bitter beneath his feet, the iron tang of blood from his wound thick in the air, clinging to each breath Jimin gulps as he flees into the night.

    How did it come to this?

    Only one answer coils through his mind like smoke—the cresent mark that carved itself into the skin of his back.

     

    The moon foretold in the prophecy.

    A child touched by the hand of the Goddess of the Moon herself.

    The moonchild.

    Bearer of harmony. Harbinger of peace.

    Destined to bring closure to a war long overdue.

    The marionette of the moon.

    And the cherished heart of the Sun yet to rise.

     

    At least, that's the story they whisper in shadowed corridors and drunken corners. But none of it explains why delicate, hollow-boned Jimin is now a fugitive, chased by the thunder of palace steeds, their riders hellbent on seizing him like a stolen secret. The festival's warmth is a distant memory as he runs for his life.
