The book begins in the Protectorate, a small community blocked in by high walls where people live on the outskirts of the forest. The people in this community believe that outside the gate there lives an evil witch, who would attack and 🤬 them if they do not sacrifice a baby each year to make her happy. Gherland, the leader of the Council of Elders, collects a chosen baby each year to give to the evil witch. He drops the baby at the edge of the forest, and the villagers perform a short ritual before returning home. There is a little witch named Xan, finds the children and protects them. But she doesn’t understand what leads the people of the Protectorate to abandon their own children. Worrying about the babies, she finds them homes in nearby villages each time a baby is abandoned. One of the sacrificed babies is the main character Luna, she has a birthmark in the shape of a moon. Xan finds Luna, like all the other children. However, unlike the other babies, whom she nourished on starlight as she found them new homes, Xan feeds this baby moonlight. Knowing that the moonlight will give the baby magic powers, Xan raises this baby by herself, which is where the name Luna came from. As Luna grows older, Xan realizes that as Luna’s powers and they are becoming stronger, her own will become weaker, and she will die. She casts a spell on Luna so she will forget about magic. At the same time, Gherland’s nephew Antain is slotted to take the new seat as Grand Elder, but he refuses. Instead, he becomes a carpenter and marries, and the couple has a baby. Unfortunately, Gherland comes to collect Antain’s baby, which has been randomly selected as the yearly sacrifice. Antain, determined to save his child, threatens to find and 🤬 the witch. Xan, Antain, and Luna converge that year as the weakening Xan goes to collect the child, followed by a curious and concerned Luna. However, things are not quite what they seem, and they learn the truth together, slowly, before they discern that the true villains reside in the Protectorate itself.

The theme in this book is very wholesome, to me the underlying theme of this book is Reclaiming family. Love and dedication to protect the ones you love the most, no matter what the cost. From Xan's fight to stay alive and keep Luna safe, Luna's mothers dedication to find her once again, to Antain trying to save his son and protect him from being taken by the witch. The fight to protect family is the biggest message I get from the Girl Who Drank The Moon.
