Descripción editorial
She was destined to serve her faith. Then she crossed into the fae realm—and fell for a god.
From the bestselling author of The North Wind comes a spellbinding romantasy inspired by the myths of Hero and Leander and the Scottish ballad Tam Lin.
For twenty-one years, Brielle of Thornbrook has devoted her life to the abbey. Her future is set: serve the Text, take her vows, and never know the touch of a man.
Then she finds a wounded stranger in the forest.
One act of compassion draws Brielle into the realm of Under—a haunting world of ancient magic, whispering fae, and dangerous secrets. There she discovers the truth about the man she rescued: he is Zephyrus, the West Wind, Bringer of Spring.
Powerful. Enigmatic. Irresistible.
As Brielle journeys deeper into Under, she finds herself torn between the life she has always known and a desire she cannot ignore. But dark forces are stirring, and trusting the wrong person could cost her everything.
Including her life.
Filled with forbidden romance, fae magic, and unforgettable tension, The West Wind is a sweeping fantasy romance about faith, fate, and the risks we take for love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Magic and myth collide with faith and fate in Warwick's luxuriously imagined and immersive second Four Winds romantasy (after The North Wind). A skilled bladesmith and devout novitiate in service to the Father at Thornbrook Abbey, 21-year-old Brielle has lived almost half her life there, though she's never quite fit in. Her simple life is irrevocably changed when she comes upon an injured man in the woods. The decision to save him takes her deep into the land called Under, the domain of the fair folk, and leads her to question everything she thought she knew. It turns out the man is Zephyrus, a god from another dimension known for his selfishness. When Brielle sets out on a quest with her tormentor from the Abbey, Zephyrus tags along, ostensibly to repay her for saving his life. Her attraction to him is intense, but acting on it would mean forsaking the god to whom she's dedicated her life. The well-shaded characters brim with nuances accentuated in sharp dialogue. Brielle's introspection, particularly as it relates to her faith, is as exquisitely detailed as the romantic and fantasy elements. Drawing from Greek myth and the Scottish legend of Tam Lin, this intricate fairy tale enchants.
