{"product_id":"mercy-the-moon-s-darkness","title":"Mercy: The Moon’s Darkness","description":"Nineteen-year-old Mercy Blackwood is leaving behind everything she knows: the familiar streets of New York, her closest friends, and a boyfriend who refuses to understand why she wants a different future. Attending Concordia University in Montreal should be a chance to discover who she is. But even before she leaves home, recurring nightmares, restless nights, and the haunting feeling of someone nearby suggest that something is already changing.\n\nIn Montreal, Mercy finds comfort in the ordinary rhythms of college life—new classes, art, late-night conversations, and friendships that make an unfamiliar city feel like home. Then she meets Sera, a dark-haired girl whose presence feels strangely familiar. Their connection grows through shared laughter, quiet understanding, and feelings Mercy never expected to face. What begins as friendship becomes a love that challenges everything she thought she knew about herself.\n\nYet the closer they become, the harder it is to ignore the secrets surrounding them.\n\nMercy’s Aunt Celeste knows more than she will admit. Her mother’s attempts to protect her only deepen her questions. Hidden letters, unsettling portraits, and symbols that appear in both dreams and waking life lead Mercy toward a family history carefully kept out of her reach. And when she and Sera discover that their experiences are connected, coincidence no longer feels like an explanation.\n\nBehind the Blackwood name lies a world of ancient vampire bloodlines, forbidden loyalties, and conflicts that have survived for centuries. Someone is watching the girls. Someone fears what their bond could mean. As an unfamiliar power begins to stir within them, Mercy must decide whom to trust—and whether the people she loves have been protecting her from danger or keeping her unprepared for it.\n\nMercy: The Moon’s Darkness by J. D. Sheffield is an atmospheric paranormal romance blending the emotional uncertainty of growing up with family mystery, supernatural suspense, and the dangerous pull of first love. From New York’s rain-soaked streets to Montreal’s shadowed courtyards, it follows a young woman searching for belonging while uncovering an inheritance that could change her life forever.\n\nFriendship. Desire. Ancient bloodlines. And a darkness that never fades.","brand":"Arts Of Life Project ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67649004929251,"sku":"dmk68e","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/8398\/0259\/files\/yvq6r5q-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1791501888","url":"https:\/\/artsoflifeproject.myshopify.com\/products\/mercy-the-moon-s-darkness","provider":"Arts Of Life Project ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
