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.

Review:

*I received an e-arc via Netgalley from Sourcebooks Fire. Thank you for the opportunity. All thoughts are my own*

I’ve read all of Rachel’s books now, and I have to say that her writing has improved with each book that she has written. This was definitely five teacups (equivalent to five stars) from me, as I am obsessed! I was completely drawn into this beautiful ethereal world of forbidden magic, forbidden romance, a gorgeous island setting and oh, so much angst!

Mortana Fairchild’s life has been planned out since she was born. She has to marry Landon, the governor’s son, and form an alliance between the witches of her island home and the mainlanders who see the existence of the witches as a threat.

Tana’s coven has always allayed the mainlanders fears by releasing their magic into the ocean during the full moon. Tana misses the moonlight ritual or the “rush”, which is a death sentence to witches, and she searches desperately for help. She finds Wolfe Hawthorne.

Wolfe is from a coven that practices dark magic, and he is the only one who can help her. He shows Tana another way to use her magic, and this magic makes her feel more alive than she has ever felt before.

Things on the island are becoming progressively difficult as the sea has become much more violent with stronger than usual currents. If these currents are left unchecked by the coven, this could jeopardize the alliance between the witches and the mainlanders. Tana will have to face some hard decisions in order to secure peace for her people.

I think if you enjoyed Rachel’s other books, if you enjoy YA fantasy and romance, this book is for you. Out today, be sure to add this one to your TBR!
