A winter-bound bargain shaped by myth

In Edgewood, an ancient magical barrier is weakening, leaving the town exposed to the Deadlands beyond. Wren, who is responsible for protecting her sister after their parents’ deaths, faces a choice when the North Wind comes to claim a bride: let her sister be taken or offer herself in her place. The setup brings together a dangerous immortal, a mortal determined to resist him, and a romance built around a life-or-death bargain. Drawing on Beauty and the Beast and the myth of Hades and Persephone, the novel pairs its enemies-to-lovers relationship with a frozen fantasy world and Greek-mythology influences. It is a standalone romance and the first book in a series.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in fantasy romance with an enemies-to-lovers pairing.
  • Readers who enjoy retellings or stories influenced by Beauty and the Beast and Greek mythology.
  • Readers seeking a standalone romantic fantasy that also begins a series.

Book overview

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.
