Wrapped in the ethereal fog of Mossburgh's magically-lit streets, Wreathed in Tide & Torment is a mesmerizing tapestry of fey-wrought magic, mystery, and love against all odds. The city's shadowy secrets mirror the complexities of Calum and Aly’s relationship, creating a captivating narrative that builds like an intricate spell.
As the duo delves into a murder that sets the detective and his informant at tense odds, the reader is transported into a world where fey whispers linger in forgotten corners, and every cobblestone hides a tale untold. Rowan’s narrative skillfully weaves together the threads of intrigue, romance, and a past that refuses to be buried. Calum, burdened by his time captured by the fey, and Aly, a clever underworld thief,
navigate a city's underworld with a chemistry that turns snow into steam.
The richly imagined historical fantasy setting, inspired by Scottish history and folklore, serves as the perfect backdrop for a story where fate's twists unveil new revelations and dangers in every shadowy close. Amidst the magic and close calls, the demisexual bi protagonist adds depth and
authenticity to the narrative, breaking new ground in the realm of romantic fantasy.
Wreathed in Tide & Torment is not merely a tale; it is a journey into a world where love defies boundaries, and the resonance of the past shapes destinies. An enrapturing beginning to an enthralling trilogy, Rowan’s debut novel leaves tired tropes behind, and is a fresh,
fantastical journey… and anyone who craves a blend of fantasy, romance, and the allure of the unknown won’t want to be left behind.
