New Release
MOON THIEF
The world is ending and it will take
a pirate
a prince
and the Moon
to make things right again.
Ilis is a coming-of-age pirate living in a world where odd—and dangerous—things are beginning to happen. The Sun only sets for mere hours at a time, and the Moon hasn’t been seen for so long that people think it a myth. The Sun’s scorching rays, however, are real and beginning to dry up the ocean.
It’s hard to be profitable pirates when the seas turn to dust; even more so when there is an outrageous price upon the crew’s heads due to a failed heist that was entirely Ilis’ fault. Desperate to redeem herself, Ilis sets off on a new heist that could buy back their freedom. However, her plan is interrupted by a prince who shows her that the shattered Moon's absence in the night sky is the reason their world is burning. With pointless wars brewing and natural disasters on the rise, Ilis and her new crew believe they might have discovered how to restore the Moon to its whole, rightful place.
But things are heating up fast. If they don’t manage to complete the Moon in the next sixty-two hours, the planet will die a fiery death, and Ilis will have failed yet again to keep her crew safe.

“
The fervency of Ms. Shinnick's love for Story is matched only by the vivid vibrancy of her imagination. In Moon Thief, she has created a world as rich in fantastical detail as it is relevant for today's increasingly divided society. If you are looking for a tale of wonder, adventure, and the sacrificial power of love, dive into the pages of Moon Thief - and find your hope renewed.”

About Rachel Shinnick
Rachel Shinnick was born in Minnesota, considers North Carolina ‘home’, but has her favorite memories from living in Hawaii, where she would run to the ocean to swim with dolphins and hear whales sing. She is a Jesus-follower, an avid tree-climber, a spikeballer, a chocolate connoisseur, an accidental-intruder-of-shark-caves, and was an honorary coach on her father’s college football sideline when they won the national championship (she even got a ring to prove it!).
Currently living in Italy, she spends most of her time training young people to be launched into ministry through an organization called Youth with a Mission. When she’s not out adventuring the Tuscan countryside, you will often find her tucked away doing one of two things: either reveling in the world of someone else’s magnificent imagination, or putting words to the fantastical worlds of her own.
She stands giddily excited to be able to read these stories to her future children—but hopes the rest of you enjoy them until then!
