The Lunatics — A Modern YA Fantasy of Magic, Myth, and Moonlight
The Lunatics series blends urban fantasy, mythology, and coming-of-age adventure in a world where moonlight rewrites destiny and magic always demands a price.
Book one: Hunter’s Moon
Moon magic is a crazy way to live…
When Raven Callahan wakes up toddler-sized on her sixteenth birthday, she has no idea that the weirdest part of her day won’t be the sudden age regression — it’ll be surviving it.
Fleeing across the country to her Irish grandmother, Raven discovers she’s inherited more than bad luck. The Callahan women are born with moon-magic, a gift that ties their power — and their bodies — to the lunar cycle, and every shift pushes her magic closer to chaos.
Before she can get a grip on her powers, Raven is kidnapped by Cerridwen, the Celtic Moon Goddess, and cursed with silence. Trapped in the mythic realm of Tír na nÓg, she must team up with a snarky Cait Sidhe and a maddening Dark Horse to survive — all while dodging the Morrigan, Goddess of Death.
To get home, Raven has to reclaim her voice, master her magic, and stop the Moon from claiming her completely. Easy, right? Well, at least she’s got a cat.
Hunter’s Moon kicks off The Lunatics, a fast-paced YA urban fantasy steeped in Celtic mythology, sharp humor, and moonlit danger.
Book Two: Blue Moon
Long-hidden secrets and ancient enemies are coming for the Lunatics…
After surviving the Celtic realm of Tír na nÓg, Raven Callahan thought life back home might finally be normal again. No such luck. Her seventeenth birthday brings chaos, and her family’s moon-magic has made them targets of something far older — and far more dangerous — than she ever imagined.
Unkillable gods, once banished from this world, have awakened. They’ve spent centuries hunting the first Lunatic, and now they’ve found her — Raven’s grandmother. As her Nan’s power fades, Raven must master her own unstable magic before the gods destroy everything she loves.
But magic always demands a price. Trust fractures, love complicates, and the line between friend and enemy blurs. To save her family, Raven must uncover the truth buried in her bloodline — and face the darkness rising within herself.
Blue Moon continues The Lunatics, a YA urban fantasy saga steeped in Celtic mythology, moonlit power, and emotional stakes.
Book Three: Cold Moon
She broke a dragon’s heart, made a deal with Despair, and now must survive a school built on blood and betrayal.
Raven Callahan’s journey into the world of moon-magic is far from over.
When her boyfriend, Kellas, is kidnapped by a vengeful Cait Sidhe and imprisoned under a cruel magical collar, Raven must push her power to new extremes. To save him, she’s forced to enroll at a ruthless Fight School, where the weak don’t survive, and the strong rarely stay human.
There, alliances shift like shadows. Former enemies become uneasy allies, and new friendships are forged in fire and blood. But victory in the arena won’t be enough. To free Kellas, Raven must confront the god who murdered her grandmother — a being even death refuses to claim — and master the most dangerous power of all: love magic.
With dragons, fox spirits, trickster gods, and ancient immortals circling the battlefield, Raven’s choices will determine whether the Lunatics rise again… or vanish forever.
Cold Moon continues The Lunatics, a YA fantasy saga woven with Celtic and global mythology, forbidden love, and moonlit destiny.
