Publisher's Summary

THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 

A sparkling debut fantasy with Celtic tones set on the magical isle of Cadence where two childhood enemies must team up to discover why girls are going missing from their clan. 

Enchantments run deep on the magical Isle of Cadence. 

The capricious spirits that live there find mirth in the lives of the humans who call the land home, but that mischief turns to malevolence as girls begin to go missing.

Adaira, heiress of the east, knows the spirits only answer to a bard’s music, enticing them to return the missing girls. But there’s only one bard capable of drawing the spirits forth by song: her childhood enemy, Jack Tamerlaine.

He hasn’t stepped foot on Cadence in ten long years, content to study music at the Mainland university. But as Jack and Adaira reluctantly work together it becomes apparent the trouble with the spirits is far more sinister than first thought and an older, darker secret lurks beneath the surface, threatening to undo them all.

Wonderfully vibrant!!

Excellent narration!

I enjoyed so much about this book: the characters, the story, the setting (with its celtic themes) and the world building. It all came together to create such a tangible and emotive story!

3.5 Stars 🌟

This book is both beautifully and magical in nature. The story line is unique and spellbinding, and it got my attention from the get go. I absolutely loved the beautifully crafted universe that Rebecca created, with its intricate and layered magic system and fascinating folklore. The characters are absolutely fascinating to read about, and I loved watching them interact and develop over the course of the book.

I also loved the narration of this book, with the narrator’s authentic Scottish accent, making the whole story so much more interesting and compelling to listen to. Look forward to reading the next book in the series.
