M.D. Petrocco

In Moons and Shadows, Runa has lived in darkness, her past buried and her quintessence forgotten - until now. Markings on her forearm awaken memories and visions of distant realms, pulling her toward a fate she doesn’t understand. As the unbinding process begins, she’s drawn closer to a world on the brink of collapse - and to a love both elusive and powerful. With an unknown key tied to the future’s survival, Runa must uncover the truth before everything unravels.

About M.D.

Your Invitation Awaits… Step Into the Shadows.

I’m M.D. Petrocco, author of Moons and Shadows—a fantasy novel that weaves together resilience, healing, identity, and transformation.

My stories are known for their emotional depth and atmospheric detail, where magic and reality blend to explore what it truly means to heal and grow.

Stories have always been my refuge, but for years, I let doubt and criticism silence my voice. Eventually, I found my way back to writing by turning personal struggles into immersive worlds, vivid imagery, and characters who speak with raw, honest voices.

I write for anyone who’s ever felt lost, held back, or on the edge of becoming something more.

“This story has etched itself upon my soul, and it will be part of me now for the rest of my days. The characters have completely captured my heart. The magic entwined in this fantastic tale has enchanted me, and breathed life back into my imagination. The deep roots of love and faith binding these characters and this incredible story have given me hope again. May this incredible story find its way into your hands and heart as it has mine. ”
