I loved the medieval setting of this serial murder mystery!  An orphan raised in an abbey, Catrin’s job as a teen is to inspect the scaffolding of the ever-evolving Sanctum, the house of worship of the sun.  In a nearby community, ostracized moon-worshipers lead their lives at night.  When an encounter with the moon sends her reeling, Cat finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation that will test her loyalties, and she just might fall in love along the way.  With representation of mental illness and neurodiversity, this thrilling novel is full of twists, magic, and derring-do!
