Wow! One of the best reads so far this year. Hazel, ARC reader
This is a book to savor, not rush through. What a wonderful start to what I hope will be a multiple book series.
Beautiful story and a journey of self discovery. This ruined me and brought me back, so well written and the best thing I have read this year by far.
Early/ARC reader reviews
Follow Alina Everglen on her journey through heartache, war and the difficult path to find herself.
...stories that are:
character-driven, slower paced, deeply emotional, with spice that follows the plot, not the other way around
...these tropes:
enemies to lovers, slow burn, loneliness, heartbreak and complicated love stories, a heroine choosing herself
Princess Alina Everglen has spent her life being exactly what the Crown expects: perfect, obedient, and alone.
Then rebels tear her from the palace and drag her into a world hidden beneath everything she was raised to believe. Among them is Kael Stormborne, the guarded rebel leader who should be her enemy, but is the first person who makes her feel seen in a way that is both terrifying and impossible to ignore.
But trust does not come easily in a rebellion built on secrets.
As Alina discovers forbidden magic within herself and fights for a place among people who may never fully accept her, the connection between her and Kael turns fierce, fragile, and painfully complicated. While the pull between them grows stronger with every passing day, secrets remain, and trust is the one thing neither of them knows how to give.
And when love becomes another place where she might lose herself, Alina must decide whether belonging is worth the cost, or whether choosing herself means walking away from the one person she never wanted to leave.
Winds and Whispers is an emotional romantasy for readers who love complicated love stories, trust issues, forbidden magic, found family, heartbreak, and heroines who have to lose everything before they can become themselves.
