Descripción editorial
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.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Pairing an ice-cold god in exile with an alcoholic heroine possessed of a minor martyr complex, Warwick (the North series) weaves a heart-pounding, pulse-racing fantasy romance that draws from "Beauty and the Beast." Following her parents' death, Wren of Edgewood has devoted her life to protecting her twin sister, Elora, happily sacrificing so that her sister can thrive in the cold wasteland that their homeland—once called the Green, now called the Gray—has become. So when the North Wind, Boreas, descends on Edgewood for his once-every-few-decades ritual of claiming a young woman as his captive, and sets his sights on Elora, Wren demands that he take her instead. Boreas, an exiled god, rules over the Deadlands that border the Gray, separated from the mortal world by a barrier called the shade—and now he's got a rather feisty sacrifice to care for. Wren doesn't make life easy for anyone, least of all herself. With the boundaries of the Deadlands fast fading and the residents of the North Wind's true kingdom in peril, time is short for the pair to figure out how to save their world—and each other. Their enemies-to-lovers romance feels wholly earned, with just enough spice to keep the sparks flying, and the worldbuilding is fresh and distinctive, even with the clear fairy tale influence. Romantasy fans will swoon for this.
