Sarah J Maas'Crescent City meets Uprootedin acclaimed YA author Rebecca Ross's brilliant first adult fantasy.
Enchantments run deep on the magical Isle of Cadence: gossip is carried by the wind,plaid shawls can be as strong as armour,and the smallest cut of a knife can instil fathomless fear. The capricious spirits that live there find mirth in the lives of the humans who call the land home,but that mischief turns to malevolence as girls begin to go missing.
Adaira,heiress of the east,knows the spirits only answer to a bard's music,enticing them to return the missing girls. But there's only one bard capable of drawing the spirits forth by song: her childhood enemy Jack Tamerlaine.
He hasn't stepped foot on Cadence in ten long years,content to study music at the mainland university,but as Jack and Adaira reluctantly work together it becomes apparent the trouble with the spirits is far more sinister than first thought and an older,darker secret lurks beneath the surface,threatening to undo them all.
