Interview with Sarah A. Parker: When the Moon Hatched & The Ballad of Falling Dragons
Episode 26
Monday, 11 May, 2026
New York Times bestselling author Sarah A. Parker joins us to talk about The Ballad of Falling Dragons , the sequel to When the Moon Hatched , covering Raeve's identity arc, Kaan's transformation, and the craft behind the Moonfall Series. Sarah walks us through what it was like to return to the complexity of the Moonfall world and how she balanced world-building, romance, and plot across both books. We talk about Raeve's journey , specifically how themes of identity and self-ownership that were so central to When the Moon Hatched continue to evolve in the sequel, and what readers should watch for in Kaan Vaegor's arc after the dramatic ending of book one. We also get into the craft side of Sarah's writing: her use of format as a storytelling tool, what she's most proud of in The Ballad of Falling Dragons, and a candid conversation about Raeve's relationship with the Creators and what that storyline may (or may not) reflect about mental health. Whether you're deep in your When the Moon Hatched reread before the sequel drops or discovering the Moonfall Series for the first time, this one is for you. The Ballad of Falling Dragons releases May 19, 2026.
