Series: Arcadia Bell (Book 1)
Author: Jenn Bennett
Genre: Urban Fantasy

Kindling the Moon is about a bar owner named Arcadia Bell who seems like the typical co-owner of a bar, but the bar's targeted consumer customers are demons. Yep that's right demons. The world this book takes place in is one where demons and magicians exist. Arcadia does not like to be referred to as a witch but a magician. Demons in this world have halos, which is how they are able to tell each other apart. Humans are referred to as savages, and although Arcadia could be considered a savage, she is not the typical magician because she has a halo. Are you confused yet? You see, Arcadia's parents are hardcore magicians and performed a ritual for her conception, resulting in Arcadia being born with a halo. Demons are not sure what to make of her which makes it perfect for Arcadia to operate a demon bar.
