Is The Luna Queen Based On Mythology Or Folklore?

I went to sleep a nobody. I woke up a Queen. One night I was just a broke, exhausted college girl. The next, I opened my eyes in silk sheets, with strangers bowing and calling me Luna Queen. The face in the mirror is mine. The body is mine. But the life isn’t. The bruises on my wrists tell a story I don’t remember, and the King I’m bound to doesn’t love me—he loathes me. They whisper that his mistress rules the palace. They say the Queen was weak. Silent. Broken. But that was before me. Now I must survive a palace that wants me dead, a King whose touch burns as much as it scars, and a kingdom waiting for me to fail. The old Luna Queen bowed to cruelty. I am not her. And if this King thinks I’ll kneel, he’s about to learn what a true Queen is made of.

Five years ago, Sera Winters was rejected on her eighteenth birthday by the only man fate chose for her. Alpha Kieran Blackthorn called her worthless, a weak Omega unfit to stand beside him. Shattered and humiliated, she vanished into the night. Now she's returned as Luna Queen of the continent's most feared pack, draped in power and mystery, with a ruthless Alpha at her side. But when Kieran feels their mate bond still burning like wildfire and begs for a second chance, Sera has only one response: cold, calculated revenge. What Kieran doesn't know: her marriage is a beautiful lie, and Sera isn't the powerless Omega he discarded. She's something far more dangerous—a Lunar Wolf, born once a century, with power enough to reshape their world. What Sera doesn't know: Kieran rejected her to save her life, bound by a death curse he cannot speak of and the witch who cursed him is the same woman who stole Sera's birthright—her own grandmother. As passion reignites and secrets unravel, Sera must choose between vengeance and truth. But some curses can only be broken with sacrifice, and some truths carry a price written in blood.
