Synopsis

From the author of The North Wind comes a darkly reimagined tale of forbidden love, inspired by the Greek myth of Hero and Leander and the Scottish ballad Tam Lin.

Brielle of Thornbrook has dedicated her life to the abbey. She spends her days forging iron and her evenings studying the Text, all in preparation of becoming an acolyte. Twenty-one years on this earth and she has never touched a man. And she never will.

But when she finds an injured stranger in the forest, Brielle can’t resist the urge to help him. The encounter leads her to the realm of Under, where the air breathes rot, and the fair folk dance and whisper. Where she discovers that the man she helped is actually a god: Zephyrus, the West Wind, Bringer of Spring.

There are few Brielle can trust in Under, least of all Zephyrus. He is charming, dangerously so, and never has a man so thoroughly ensnared her. As she embarks on a journey through the eerie banks and caves of Under, Brielle finds herself in a perilous situation. For here is where faith and heart collide—and where she risks not only her future…but her life.

Goodreads review by Jasmine on February 28, 2025

This story seems to be separate from book 1. It was okay. There were actions and adventures but most of the adventure was the journey to find the weapon. The journey was mostly unpleasant because Harper was so annoying and well Zepharus was okay.. I loved book 1 but this one, not so much. The narrat......more

3.5 ⭐️’s the ending bumped it from a solid 3 to 3.5! There will be many a rambling, so sorry for that in advance. I haven’t written a review in ages. I kept flip flopping on my thoughts and what I would rate this book. I think there are definitely bits that could’ve just been scrapped to make it less......more

Goodreads review by Meg on May 08, 2023

This. Book. Was. EXCEPTIONAL. It's been so long since I found a book I love this much, and I am so grateful I was given the opportunity to read this book before the release. I went into this unknowing that it was a sequel, but fortunately, they are standalones. I can be quite weary of Greek mythology......more

Warning! Minor spoilers coming!! This was a good book. I enjoyed it a lot, but it was such a slow start. The first installation grabbed me by the heart so quickly that I expected this one to do the same. I liked Brielle, but I’m not super into reading about religion. There was a ton of religious tal......more
