A Dark and Drowning Tide

Více o knize

A sharp-tongued folklorist teams up with her academic rival to solve their mentor's murder in a lush sapphic fantasy romance. Lorelei Kaskel, known for her quick temper and wit, embarks on an expedition with six eccentric nobles to find a fabled spring that promises immense power, coveted by the king to secure his reign in the troubled country of Brunnestaad. Determined to prove herself and fulfill her dream of becoming a naturalist, Lorelei's plans are shattered when her beloved mentor is murdered aboard their ship. With five remaining expedition mates, each harboring their own motives, Lorelei knows only her rival, the insufferably gallant Sylvia von Wolff, is innocent. Now in charge, Lorelei must locate the spring before the murderer strikes again, all while navigating other dangers: shifting forests, rivers hiding slumbering dragons, and bloodthirsty shapeshifters. As Lorelei and Sylvia reluctantly collaborate to uncover the truth, they grapple with their growing feelings for one another and the realization that their professor harbored secrets that challenge Lorelei’s pursuit of justice and the worthiness of saving the kingdom.
