Between the Moon and Her Night
“It was like he had lifted the lid to a small locket box, because a soft, beautiful melody began to play—happy and sad, and filled with love and loss.
It was the song of us.
The song of Life and Death.”
Centuries before the events of Between Life and Death and Between Sun and Moon . . . Centuries before she was Sage . . . She was Aurelia, the Goddess of Life.
The decades-long Immortal War has ended and a new deal has been struck between the two warring sides. In exchange for the freedom of others, Aurelia reluctantly agrees to live in the Spirit Realm where she will give her hand in marriage to the God of Death—Von.
The lethal, sexy, immortal claims he will make her his queen, but she knows full well that she will not be wearing a gilded crown upon her head, but rather a tight collar around her neck. Having no intentions of becoming his prisoner, on the day she is supposed to go with him, she makes a swift decision and runs from him instead.
Thunderclouds and swords are not the only things that collide when Von tracks her down in the dark, foreboding woods. There, steamy passions and shadow chains lure Aurelia into making another deal with him—a deal that she won’t be able to run away from this time. A deal that will forever lock her to his side.
. . . Right where Death wants her to be.
Between the Moon and Her Night is a prequel to the Between Life and Death series, but it is intended to be read as the third book. This dark

Jaclyn Kot writes the kind of fantasy romance that lingers long after the last page, weaving together shadow-drenched worlds, characters who blur the line between hero and villain, and love stories that burn as fiercely as they ache. Her Between Life and Death series has captured the hearts of dark fantasy romance readers around the world, earning millions of reads on Kindle Unlimited and recognition from Amazon’s “Best of BookTok.”
Her path to publishing was anything but rushed. The seed of her debut story was planted more than a decade ago, but it wasn’t until 2021 that she rewrote it from the ground up, determined to bring her characters the life they deserved. When Between Life and Death arrived in 2023, it was quickly embraced for its morally grey male lead, its strong and complex heroine, and its blend of spice, mythology, and high-stakes twists. Sequels followed swiftly, expanding her Edenvale world with deeper lore, heartbreak, and the kind of intensity that keeps readers awake at night.
