"At once a fast-paced mystery and a love story as warm as a hearth . . . This is a classic in the making." — Ava Reid, internationally bestselling author of The Wolf and the Woodsman, on A River Enchanted
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals returns to the magical isle of Cadence to find the balance between the human and faery realms imperiled in this stunning conclusion to the Elements of Cadence duology that began with A River Enchanted
East and west. Humans and spirits. Breccans and Tamerlaines. The Isle of Cadence has always held itself in a tenuous balance. But now Bane, the spirit of the North Wind, has pushed everything off-kilter in a bid to claim dominion over human and spirit alike.
In the east, a sickness is spreading among the people of the Tamerlaine clan. As healer Sidra desperately searches for a cure, her husband, Torin, the clan’s new leader, attempts to draw answers from the spirits. But the further he strays into the realm of the elementals, the more lost he and the clan become. In the west, Jack decides to take up his harp and cross the clan line, not only to reunite with Adaira, but to unravel a sinister mystery that would grant him the knowledge to defeat Bane and restore peace to the isle. Yet no one can challenge the North Wind without paying a price, and the sacrifice required this time may just be the ultimate one.
Rebecca Ross weaves an enchanting tapestry of mystery and magic, love and sacrifice, in this thrilling conclusion to the Elements of Cadence duology.

I have mixed feelings about this series. One one hand, the worldbuilding and lore and Scottish-inspired culture is really interesting. Torin and Sidra are amazingly written characters and I love them with my whole heart. However, Jack and Adeira feel lacking by comparison, they feel childish, children pretending to be adults, and they don't have depth and maturity Sidra and Torin have. The entire writing of the West feels sloppy and lazy. Many of them are malicious just for the sake of it, and their motivation doesn't make any sense. This pattern reoccurs time and again. The writing often feels flat, lacking depth and being too predictable. I have no issues with predictable books, but I often struggled to care, especially when it concerned Jack and Adeira. With both books I enjoyed the middle much more than the last third. The ending in both books is disappointing and feels too "convenient". I didn't want this happy ending for the series, I wanted a more dramatic conclusion, but this "happily ever after" lacks impact. I wanted sacrifice and bittesweet, not this convenient conclusion wrapped in a little bow tie.

Beautiful written duology. Poetic, whimsical, and cozy.
