The old-gold moon is missing. A grieving giant is carrying it. The tides have begun moving the wrong way.
Only days after surviving the Civil Peace Engine, Ione Venn wakes to a round darkness in the sky where Nimarra should be. Moon roads shift. Rivers reverse. Dragon flights lose distance. Children carrying three magical currents begin to burn with fever.
Then Tammar Lastbell arrives at the Uncrowned Hearth with empty grief, an impossible request, and a hand large enough to hold the absent moon.
Every crown offers Ione emergency authority. Every offer would make her the single point through which the world must move. Refusing may preserve freedom-but it also means accepting delay while ships ground, gardens fail, and entire communities race the wrong tide.
With Jex guarding the roads, Vauren coordinating dragons without reclaiming command, Lysenne risking her memories to map a passage, and a scarred paper tiger following the moon's pull, Ione must help a giant, a moon, and three nations answer the same question:
Can home still be home when returning to it would recreate the harm?
The Giant Who Rented the Moon is Book Two of The Hearthbound Mandate, an adult queer epic-fantasy series blending maritime danger, celestial wonder, political intrigue, found family, low-spice polyamorous romance, dragons, giants, and cozy resilience.
