The Hollow Moon Accord

The moon shattered centuries ago. The Queen died with it. History got one of those facts wrong.

Relic hunter Syra Vale has spent her life searching for fragments of the past. When a discovery reveals evidence that history's greatest villain may have been humanity's last protector, she becomes entangled in a mystery that spans centuries.

As rival factions race to rebuild what was lost, Syra must decide whether humanity deserves the truth — or whether some secrets were buried for a reason.

Central Mystery — The Hollow Moon Accord

What do we owe the dead?

The official record states the Queen destroyed the moon and ended the Ancient world. Three thousand years of history agree.

But someone has been erasing her face from the relics for centuries. Methodically. Deliberately. Long before anyone thought to ask why.

Syra Vale is asking now.

"The most dangerous thing a person can do is ask what really happened."

About the Author
Karen Eastman Rintamaki — Fantasy Author

Karen Eastman Rintamaki

Karen Eastman Rintamaki is a fantasy author exploring the intersection of mystery, history, forgotten civilizations, and human connection. Her stories blend ancient secrets, slow-burn romance, and world-spanning mysteries where the truth is rarely what history claims.

Her characters are people who chase fragments — broken records, buried maps, recovered relics — and rarely come back the same for having found them.

The truth survives in fragments. So do we.

She writes for readers who believe the most dangerous thing a person can do is ask what really happened.

Drafting Syra Vale — A Hunter Who Listens

Relic hunters are usually written as thieves. I wanted to write one as a translator — someone who hears what the fragments still want to say.
