Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- September 2023
Fantasy Venom’s Taste by Lisa Smedman I haven’t read a Forgotten Realms novel for quite some while ever since they turned the whole from high magic to low.

The moment she crossed the threshold
The line is not from Wild Writing actually but taken from the novel Northern Star Guide me Home by Jo Spurrier.
