Bristol, Tennessee Jan 13, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Author Tera Lowry Burnette announces the release of her debut fantasy novel, Blood Moon Oath: The Two Realms, the first installment in an epic trilogy inspired by The Transylvanian Orchestra® Symphonic Rock Opera, created by Tera and her husband, Scott Lowry Burnette.
Blending mythical lore, spiritual depth, and cinematic storytelling, Blood Moon Oath transports readers into Var’Thalas, a mysterious realm where ancient magic, shadowed beings, and forgotten bloodlines collide.
At the heart of the story are two sisters, Selene and Asara Danbraen, whose lives are irrevocably changed as long-dormant powers awaken, dangerous creatures reemerge, and an ancestral prophecy begins to unravel. Guided by cryptic visions, blood-forged amulets, and a legacy hidden for generations, the sisters must confront the truth about their lineage while navigating betrayal, destiny, and the thin boundary between realms.
“This story grew from the roots of our Appalachian heritage, our music, and the mythic universe built through our stage shows,” says Burnette. “It carries pieces of family, faith, culture, and the belief that light always rises to meet the dark.”
In The Two Realms, readers will discover:
- A breathtaking new world filled with mysterious races, shadow-traveling beings, and ancient magic
- A fierce sisterhood tested by secrets, prophecy, and psychological manipulation
- A cinematic blend of fantasy, suspense, romance, and spiritual symbolism
- A multi-layered narrative that echoes real-world themes of identity, heritage, resilience, and hope
Burnette, a member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, infuses the novel with spiritual grounding tied to her faith and Native heritage. The book also reflects her experiences battling Lyme disease and autoimmune challenges, threads woven into the story’s deeper themes of strength over struggle.
Blood Moon Oath: The Two Realms sets the stage for the upcoming sequels, The Prophecy of Numbers and The Writing of Many Wrongs, expanding the sweeping saga of love, legacy, and the war between light and shadow.
The novel will resonate with fans of Shadow and Bone, The Witcher, Crescent City, and richly built fantasy worlds driven by emotion, mystery, and unforgettable characters.
