The North Wind (The Four Winds Book 1)

Wren of Edgewood faces hardship as she struggles to keep herself and her sister alive through a harsh, endless winter. Their home sits on the edge of the Deadlands, protected only by the Shade—a magical barrier that has held for three hundred years but is now weakening. According to legend, only one thing can prevent the Shade's collapse: the blood of a mortal woman bound in marriage to the North Wind, a dangerous immortal ruler of the frozen land. When the North Wind arrives to choose his bride and sets his sights on Wren's sister, Wren decides to sacrifice herself instead. Despite being mortal, she is determined to resist. This standalone fantasy romance draws inspiration from Beauty and the Beast and the myth of Hades and Persephone, featuring an enemies-to-lovers slow-burn dynamic and elements of Greek mythology. It is the first book in a series.
