This is a classic in the making., With lush worldbuilding and lyrical prose, A River Enchanted feels like the echo of a folktale from a world right next to our own., "A vivid fantasy that is impossible to put down." - Booklist (starred review) "Vividly imagined. A River Enchanted made me homesick for places I've never been. Like music, it will bewitch your senses, carrying you to the wind-swept hills and effervescent waters of the isle of Cadence. With unforgettable characters, a fast-paced plot, and compelling world building, A River Enchanted is a stirring story of duty, love, and the power of true partnership, and marks Rebecca Ross's brilliant entry on the adult fantasy stage.Īn alluring and rich tale, at once a fast-paced mystery and a love story as warm as a hearth. But with each passing song, it becomes apparent the trouble with the spirits is far more sinister than they first expected, and an older, darker secret about Cadence lurks beneath the surface, threatening to undo them all. As Jack and Adaira reluctantly work together, they find they make better allies than rivals as their partnership turns into something more. Adaira, heiress of the east and Jack's childhood enemy, knows the spirits only answer to a bard's music, and she hopes Jack can draw them forth by song, enticing them to return the missing girls. The capricious spirits that rule the isle by fire, water, earth, and wind find mirth in the lives of the humans who call the land home. Enchantments run deep on Cadence: gossip is carried by the wind, plaid shawls can be as strong as armor, and the smallest cut of a knife can instill fathomless fear.
But when young girls start disappearing from the isle, Jack is summoned home to help find them. Jack Tamerlaine hasn't stepped foot on Cadence in ten long years, content to study music at the mainland university. #1 International Bestseller "With lush world building and lyrical prose, A River Enchanted feels like the echo of a folktale from a world right next to our own." -Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf House of Earth and Blood meets The Witch's Heart in Rebecca Ross's brilliant first adult fantasy, set on the magical isle of Cadence where two childhood enemies must team up to discover why girls are going missing from their clan.
