Lush. Dark. Romantic. Introducing a newly reimagined tale written in the vein of Beauty and the Beast and Hades and Persephone.

Long before civilization, there were the gods. And before the gods, there was the earth, the celestial bodies, and air given flesh. They are the Anemoi—the Four Winds—and they have been banished to the four corners of the world.

Wren of Edgewood is no stranger to suffering. Her parents are gone. Survival is all she knows. For three hundred years, the land known as the Gray has been encased in ice, surrounded by a great barrier called the Shade, which protects the townsfolk from the Deadlands beyond.

But day by day, the Shade weakens.

Only one thing can stop the Shade's fall: a mortal woman taken captive across the barrier, bound in wedlock to the dark god who reigns over the Deadlands. He is the North Wind, the Frost King, an immortal whose heart is said to be as frigid as the land he rules.

And the time has come for the Frost King to choose his bride.

The North Wind is a standalone, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance, the first in a series sprinkled with Greek lore. Perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Laura Thalassa, and Scarlett St. Clair.

      Starred review from March 18, 2024
      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.
