Tana Fairchild’s fate has never been in question. Her life has been planned out since the moment she was born: she is to marry the governor’s son, Landon, and secure an unprecedented alliance between the witches of her island home and the mainlanders who see her very existence as a threat.
Tana’s coven has appeased those who fear their power for years by releasing most of their magic into the ocean during the full moon. But when Tana misses the midnight ritual—a fatal mistake—there is no one she can turn to for help…until she meets Wolfe.
Wolfe claims he is from a coven that practices dark magic, making him one of the only people who can help her. But he refuses to let Tana’s power rush into the sea, and instead teaches her his forbidden magic. A magic that makes her feel powerful. Alive.
As the sea grows more violent, her coven loses control of the currents, a danger that could destroy the alliance as well as her island. Tana will have to choose between love and duty, between loyalty to her people and loyalty to her heart. Marrying Landon would secure peace for her coven but losing Wolfe and his wild magic could cost her everything else.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A teen witch is torn between her desires and her responsibility to her loved ones in this amorous romantic fantasy from Griffin (Wild Is the Witch). As the daughter of her island-dwelling coven's leader, 19-year-old Tana Fairchild has always known that she is expected to wed Landon Yates, the non-magical son of the mainland's governor. Tana's island isn't beholden to the mainland's anti-magic laws, but while her coven eschews potent dark sorcery in favor of tourist-friendly spells, the witches still fear persecution. Though Tana doesn't love Landon, she knows their marriage will ensure her people's protection, and she is committed to the cause—until she meets Wolfe Hawthorne, part of a secret splinter coven that refuses to sublimate their power to assuage mainland anxiety. Tana falls for the way Wolfe encourages her to embrace her heritage, but is she willing to sacrifice her friends' and family's security for the sake of her own happiness? Conflicts resolve somewhat quickly and easily, dampening dramatic impact; nevertheless, tender relationships and kindhearted, racially diverse characters complement the novel's hopeful tone. Ethereal worldbuilding and affecting allegories championing environmental stewardship, honesty, pride, and self-expression further enrich Griffin's feel-good tale. Ages 14–up.
