The Moon Queens Of Jamaica

The Moon Queens Of Jamaica by Claudetta Aurelia

Dr Marisa Clarke travels the stars with the Kingston Research Corps, carrying Jamaica in her heart and the steady wisdom of her grandmother close at hand. When her ship descends to a radiant green moon long dismissed as legend, she discovers a city that is no ruin at all: crystal halls alive with song, jasmine-scented gardens, and a court where beauty is law.

At its centre stand the Queens—three figures crowned in silver, their voices a chorus of desire, patience, and wrath. They offer knowledge, intimacy, and power, but their splendour is sustained by the hollowed souls of those who kneel before them. To resist is to invite destruction. To yield is to be remade.

As the moon presses its visions upon her, Marisa must choose between the grounding truth of her ancestors and the seductive grandeur the Queens promise. Attraction may spark where it should not. Desire may draw dangerously close. And the truth behind the crowns will demand a price no mortal should be asked to pay.

The Moon Queens of Jamaica is a gothic science-fiction novella of cosmic beauty and moral peril. Lush, unsettling, and mythic in tone, it will appeal to readers drawn to strange worlds, dangerous splendour, and the haunting legacy of writers such as Tanith Lee.
