Synopsis

Inspired by Beauty and the Beast and the myth of Hades and Persephone, this lush and enchanting enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Scarlett St. Clair.

Wren of Edgewood is no stranger to suffering. With her parents gone, it’s Wren’s responsibility to ensure she and her sister survive the harsh and endless winter, but if the legends are to be believed, their home may not be safe for much longer.

For three hundred years, the land surrounding Edgewood has been encased in ice as the Shade, a magical barrier that protects the townsfolk from the Deadlands beyond, weakens. Only one thing can stop the Shade’s fall: the blood of a mortal woman bound in wedlock to the North Wind, a dangerous immortal whose heart is said to be as frigid as the land he rules. And the time has come to choose his bride.

When the North Wind sets his eyes on Wren’s sister, Wren will do anything to save her—even if it means sacrificing herself in the process. But mortal or not, Wren won’t go down without a fight…

The North Wind is a stand-alone, enemies-to-lovers slow-burn fantasy romance, the first in a series sprinkled with Greek mythology.

Goodreads review by Chelsea

I loved every second of this book. It’s described as beauty and the beast meets Hades and Persephone, so hello, I needed it. I consider it ACOTAR meets Uprooted. So all the Beaty and the beast/Hades and Persephone vibes of Feyre and Rhys but just a tad more fantasy. Our basic plot is very similar to......more

Goodreads review by Lenet

Not sure why it got so much good reviews This book is full of stupid decisions after stupid decisions and it’s by our selfish, narcissistic, disrespectful, ignorant main female character! She not only almost gets everyone killed, but she blames “The North Wind” for her inability to control herself.......more
