In this luminous young adult novel by New York Times bestselling author Aisha Saeed, two teen protagonists grow from friends to something more in the aftermath of a tragedy in their magical town.
But is this actually true? Can Yasmine and Rafay find a way to be together despite it all?.
The forest elders have long warned that falling in Love with outsiders will lead to devastating consequences for anyone from Willow Forest.
Not that they would ever act on these feelings.
As they\'ve gotten older, their friendship has blossomed.
Yasmine and Rafay have been friends since Rafay first arrived, nearly ten years ago.
Except Moonlight Bay is no longer a welcoming refuge, and tensions between the townspeople and his people are growing.
The forest of Moonlight Bay was where people from Rafay\'s community relocated when their home was destroyed.
Rafay is an immigrant, a child of Willow Forest.
Yasmine is a child of the town, and her parents are trying and failing to make ends meet.
This includes the two teens at the heart of our story: Yasmine and Rafay.
And the people in the town are struggling.
The tourists have stopped coming.
Almost overnight, the entire town seems devoid of life and energy.
After a tragic death mars the town, the pink and lavender waters in the bay turn gray, and the forest that was a refuge for newcomers becomes a scourge to the townspeople.
Moonlight Bay is a magical place--or it was once.
