Author holding up paperback copy of book entitled "The Moon Blessed King" by Lindsey Byrd. It is a blue cover with moon motifs.
Dedication inside the book which reads: This book is dedicated to all of the essential workers, first responders and primary caregivers who worked tirelessly through the Covid-19 pandemic. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your service.
Back of book cover copy for The Moon Blessed King, which reads: In the daring sequel to The Sun Blessed Prince, Elician and Cat must confront the goddess of death to save their nations. But could it already be too late? Elician is a Giver with the power to raise the dead, and though it’s forbidden for Givers to rule, he is crowned King of Soleb. Determined to end a generations-long war with the kingdom of Alelune, he is prepared to marry Cat, Alelune's rightful heir. But Cat is a Reaper, able to kill with a touch, and feared by even his own people. His claim to the throne is a gamble at best, but before he can challenge his tyrannical brother, Gillage, the goddess of death releases a devastating plague across the continent. To stop it, Elician and Cat must confront Death herself, leaving Elician's rebellious sister, Fen, to do what she can to heal the sick in their absence. But when a coup threatens to upend her brother’s reign, Fen must decide exactly what she is willing to sacrifice to help her brother succeed. With two countries at stake, the death toll rising, and the struggle for Alelune’s throne hanging in the balance, it’s a race against time to appease the wrath of a god.
I'm delighted to share this book with the world, The Moon Blessed King is a queer political fantasy novel about love, loss, and questioning the relationship between life and death.
Out 16 April (UK) and 28 April everywhere else!

A quote on a starry background that reads: "The Chamos Project is an ambitious sci-fi novel with lines that pack punch after emotional punch."
I'm delighted to be able to share my first official author blurb for THE CHAMOS PROJECT! @lindseybyrd.bsky.social
Hi Jenny! Moon Blessed King (part 2/2 of Tale of Two Crowns Duology) comes out in 2026 and while the first book is certainly more a queer political fantasy, the glacially slow burn in book one finally has its romance in book two if that's something you're interested in. :D
I just happened to stumble over this - this is such a thoughtful analysis of the book! I'm delighted you picked up on so much of the subtlety happening throughout the narrative and that you enjoyed it so much! The sequel is out in April, and I hope you enjoy the conclusion as well! Best wishes!
A quote that reads: "Something that is a theme with both Ames' writing and this book in particular is her exploration of trauma and the irrational thoughts trauma can engender in someone. Healing isn't pretty, nor is it a straight line. And showing the good, bad, and ugly with such sensitivity is something Ames does particularly well in THE CHAMOS PROJECT."

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale.
Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.
There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.
Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.
