The Secret of Moonflower Valley was put into production in August of 2021 when I was only ten years old. It has since seen many different characters come and go, tragedies be written and cancelled, and the plot—well, it’s been a process, to say the least. I don’t know when she’ll be finished and sitting as a hardcover book on my shelf, but it’s a wild, bumpy ride that I wouldn’t miss for the world.
Clementine Hazelwood lives in the countryside of Moonflower Valley. Ever since she was born, her kingdom has suffered from the loss of their rulers to the cruel hand of the foxes; bloodthirsty savages that prowl the Black Forest. But Clementine dreams of a brighter future; one where her world is at peace.
Flynne Bloomfield lives in Starlight Glade of the fox territories. She grew up being told the horrifying history of East Ridge—attacked by Moonflower Valley and abandoned. It’s left her with a healthy dose of suspicion and hatred for the too-powerful Valley.
Six years after the East Ridge is destroyed, Clementine and Flynne meet each other and begin an unlikely friendship. And when the regent of Moonflower Valley declares war on the remaining fox territories, they know they need to do something to stop it. But does a group of teenagers have what it takes to bring peace between three countries and uncover the dark secret of Moonflower Valley? Or are they destined to fail like the late rulers before them…?
