Synopsis
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Nature of Witches comes a lush, romantic, and unforgettable new fantasy. When Tana's coven is unable to calm the waters around her island home she must choose between a marriage to the boy she's been betrothed to since birth and loyalty to her family and the life they've laid out for her, or Wolfe, the outcast who owns her heart and the dark magic that could tame the seas, but banish her from her coven forever.
Tana Fairchild's life has been planned out for her since the day she was born: marry the governor's son and secure an unprecedented alliance between the witches and the mainlanders.
When Tana meets Wolfe, a member of the only remaining coven left practicing dark magic, she's stunned to learn of his existence. She's always thought the final coven disbanded ten years ago, completely eradicating the use of dark magic.
When unknown magic builds in Tana's body, and she is unable to expel the magic on her own, she begs Wolfe for help. And as she practices Wolfe's dark magic, she's horrified to discover how naturally it comes to her. It makes her feel powerful. Alive.
Tana tries to rid herself of the memories of Wolfe and his magic, and throws herself into her courtship with Landon, the key to the alliance the witches have worked so hard for. With Tana's covenant ball approaching, their engagement will be officially announced.
Tana's family discovers her use of dark magic and her mother confides in her that the witches are losing control of the currents, and it's only a matter of time before the sea swallows a mainlander. When that happens, Tana's relationship with Landon could be the only thing that keeps the mainlanders from turning on the witches.
But Tana can't stop thinking about Wolfe. And as the tide grows fiercer, and the witches' relationship with the mainlanders more tenuous, Tana has to decided between love and duty.
Synopsis
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Nature of Witches and Wild is the Witch comes a lush romantic fantasy about forbidden love, the choices we make, and the pull between duty and desire.
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.
