The Girl Who Drank the Moon

Once upon a time there was a town called Protectorate with townspeople who were wrongly taught that the witch in the woods was evil. In fact, they were taught that the only way for the witch to not hurt the whole town was for them to give the witch the youngest child in the town once a year, so she would leave them alone.

Sadly, they were wrong. Xan, the so-called witch, is not mean at all. All she knows is a baby is left in the same spot once a year for no apparent reason. One day she picks up the baby girl, and is so enchanted with her she doesn't realize that she has fed her moonlight, which is pure magic. Once Xan realizes what she has done, she decides to raise the child herself, whom she names Luna, for she has magic. Once Luna grows up and Xan gets older, they finally realize what is happening to the babies.
