BOUND BY THE MOON.

Four boys. One forbidden machine. One world that should have remained sealed beneath the moon. Eliot has always believed monsters were misunderstood. Theo believes they are real. Leon believes the project will kill them all. Rex stops pretending to care about consequences long before the machine is finished. Together, they build a portal designed to breach dimensional barriers and uncover the truth behind ancient myths. It works. For one night, beneath a blood moon, the veil tears open. And something comes through. Not an animal. Not a legend. A girl. Feral, wounded, and bound to a silver amulet carved with lunar markings older than human history. The moment she crosses into their world, the portal collapses behind her — unstable, violent, incomplete. She is one of the Varyn: a race tied to the moon itself, creatures shaped by instinct, memory, and ancient laws humans were never meant to touch. In her world, the amulet is not jewelry. It is a seal, a chain, and a sentence. And now it is breaking. She hates humans immediately — not only because they dragged her into a foreign world, but because their experiment may have damaged the bond that keeps her kind from becoming something far worse during the full moon. The boys expected proof of werewolves. Instead, they triggered the beginning of a catastrophe. Now they are hiding a dangerous supernatural girl hunted by forces from both worlds while trying to repair a portal none of them fully understand. Every attempt to fix it pulls the dimensions closer together. Strange phenomena spread. Nights grow longer. Wolves appear where they should not exist. And each full moon makes her less certain she can control what lives inside her. Still, against all reason, the distance between them begins to fracture. Eliot sees the loneliness beneath her anger. Theo becomes obsessed with the amulet and the forgotten history tied to it. Leon tries to hold the group together while pretending he is not terrified. Rex keeps pushing boundaries no matter how dangerous the consequences become. And somewhere between fear, loyalty, and survival, emotions begin to complicate everything. Because she was raised to believe humans are weak, cruel, and corrupt. Yet these four boys — reckless, stubborn, infuriating boys — refuse to abandon her even when they should.
