Jack Tamerlaine left Cadence a bard. He returns a stranger.
Summoned home after ten years away, Jack finds an island steeped in restless spirits and dark secrets. Girls are vanishing, stolen by unseen hands, and Adaira—the sharp-tongued, sharp-witted future laird—believes only Jack’s music can call the spirits to answer.
What begins as an uneasy alliance between childhood rivals deepens into something more as they navigate a mystery tangled in folklore, elemental magic, and a past neither has truly escaped.
But Cadence has always belonged to the spirits first. And some secrets were never meant to surface.
In this sweeping Scottish-inspired fantasy, Rebecca Ross weaves enemies-to-lovers romance, atmospheric magic, and haunting mystery into a world where every breeze carries a whisper of the truth.
