Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

When the moon begins to die, an impossible visitor may hold the key to saving an entire world.**Astrid Hawthorne has always trusted what she can observe, measure, and record. In the quiet Oakhaven Valley, she spends her nights studying the stars through her grandfather's old telescope, searching the heavens for answers that everyday life cannot provide. But when she discovers that the moon is losing its light, Astrid realizes that something far beyond the valley is terribly wrong.One freezing night, a strange violet-silver object falls from the sky and crashes into the marsh beside Lake Oakhaven. Inside the steaming hollow, Astrid discovers an enormous silver hare with translucent, glowing ears and a mysterious stone seed clutched tightly against its chest. As the creature's radiant fur begins to fade into gray ash, Astrid risks everything to shelter it, even as her older sister, Freya, grows increasingly worried about Astrid's secretive behavior.With the help of Rowan Lancaster, a gifted young surveyor whose scientific certainty is challenged by the impossible, Astrid begins to uncover the connection between the dying moon, the mysterious seed, and the fragile life of the celestial hare she names Argent. Their search leads them across the dark waters of Lake Oakhaven and into the hidden history of a distant lunar civilization whose desperate attempt to preserve its light brought devastation instead.As the moon approaches its darkest phase, Astrid discovers that survival cannot be achieved through isolation or possession. The answer lies in a delicate network connecting water, earth, plants, and living hearts. But building that connection requires trust, precise timing, and the courage to share a burden that Astrid has carried alone for far too long.With time running out, Astrid and her growing circle of allies must coordinate a dangerous effort across the lake, the ancient forest, and the rocky ridge. Their success may determine whether the last remnants of celestial life can flourish again-or disappear into the same lifeless ash that has begun to spread across the moon.Astrid and the Silver Rabbits is an atmospheric fantasy about cosmic mystery, ecological balance, grief, and the healing power of connection. Blending celestial wonder with the intimate struggles of a family and a small rural community, this enchanting adventure explores a timeless truth: life does not thrive when it is locked away and guarded, but when it is allowed to grow through the strength of many.
