“Is it true…that you pulled a lion from the ocean and fell in love with him?”
ASLAN
The sixteen-year-old boy named after a lion.
A boy with his entire life ahead of him.
A boy running from a terrible secret.
All it takes is one awful night to change everything.
One secret, one smuggler, one boat, one storm.
And he wakes in an entirely different existence.
Staring into the ocean-blue eyes of his twelve-year-old rescuer.
NERIDA
The twelve-year-old girl named after a sea nymph.
A girl with lofty dreams and absolute faith that she’ll achieve them.
All it takes is a bright, sunny morning to change everything.
One boy clinging to wreckage, one sea cradling him close, one chance at keeping him safe.
He’s illegal and unwanted.
She’s stubborn and so sure.
He’s lost absolutely everything.
And she’s found the only thing she ever wanted.
They begin as rescued and rescuer.
Slowly growing from twelve and sixteen.
He’s not allowed to touch her.
She’s convinced he is the one.
But as each day dawns on his illegal existence, Aslans’s secrets creep ever closer, the death he ran from hunts ever faster, and the darkness that he can’t get free of finally finds him.
And it costs him…
everything.

REVIEW: LUNAMARE is the first instalment in Pepper Winter’s adult THE LUNA DUET coming of age story line focusing on the love affair between Nerida Taylor and Aslan Avci.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives including memories from the past and an interview between Neri and two journalists Margot and Dylan, LUNAMARE covering approximately six years in real time, follows in the aftermath of the rescue of Turkish born Aslan Avci by our heroine Nerida ‘Neri’ Taylor. At the age of twelve, Neri Taylor rescued sixteen year old Aslan Avci from the oceans surrounding her home near Australia. The boat on which Aslan was travelling was caught in a storm, and our hero was the only survivor. Living with the Taylor’s meant keeping his past a secret, a secret that could destroy his life going forward. Falling for Neri Taylor was forbidden but fall he did, a fall that would ultimately destroy our story line couple.
LUNAMARE is an intense and angst-ridden love story between two lost souls who have bonded over loss, love, family and revelations but LUNAMARE is also a story of secrets and lies, discovery and exploration, soul mates forever tied by death and the sea. Akin to James Cameron’s retelling of the TITANIC™, LUNAMARE is the retelling of fated mates tied to one another through desperation and sins, desperation that is about to pull our couple apart.
