Beschreibung

Jack Tamerlaine hasn’t set foot on Cadence in ten long years, content to study music at the mainland university. But when young girls start disappearing from the isle, Jack is summoned home to help find them. 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 instil fathomless fear. 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. 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.

As Jack and Adaira reluctantly work together, they find they make better allies than rivals as their partnership turns into something more. 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.

Enchanting and unique. Scottish fairytale folklore inspired fantasy, with excellent world building. Atmospheric, immersive and cozy. A little slow at times, but whimsical and lyrical. I fell in love with the characters, the story and their arc.

„I am but a verse inspired by your chorus and I will follow you until the end, when the isle takes my bones and my name is nothing more than remembrance on a headstone, next to yours.“ „It felt like I waited an eternity for you.“ „You are mine as I am yours.“ „Our hands can steal, or they can give. They can harm, or they can comfort. They can wound and kill, or they can heal and save.“ „No. I don’t want half of anything. Only all of it.“ „There is no failure in love, and I have loved without measure.“ „I tried to turn myself into stone. To not feel anything. But now I realize it is better to live, to feel and have a clean break than be half-dead and cold, cracked from resentment.“ „Welcome home, my old menace.“

Wow…

Magie pur!

Ich hab mich sowas von verliebt in das Buch! Unglaublich emotional, berührend und wunderschön geschrieben! Über die Magie / Macht der Musik, der Natur, der Elemente und der Liebe! Und über die Wichtigkeit des Gefühls sich zugehörig zu fühlen- sich zuhause zu fühlen. Über Familie und das Überwinden von „Gräben“.

Rebecca Ross did it again 😍

This book ticked all the boxes for me: - captivating magical world that feels real - a plot that‘s straightforward while still allowing for interesting subplots - lyrical writing style that‘s not too over the top or distracting - lovable characters with depth - a romantic story that doesn‘t rely on spice

Jahreshighlight ❤️

Wow. I can't believe how much Rebecca Ross just manages to draw you into a story, so that all you wanna do is get lost in it. While not much is happening in terms of action (I mean, of course stuff is happening but still...) the characters, the narration, the landscape.... It's just perfect. At this point I'll probably read a retelling of the telephone book by Rebecca Ross and would love it. The audiobook makes it even better, with all the accents. Just love it. Rebecca Ross = auto-read now

Beautiful, heartbreaking and addictive story.

4.5 ⭐️ When I picked up this book, I didn‘t expect to be blown away by it but my god did Rebecca Ross blow me away more than the Northern Winds ever could. The writing style is STUNNING and something I envy the author for, because how do you come up with phrases and sentences so beautiful that my heart physical hurt from the beauty of it all? This story hooked me within the first few pages and by the end of it, I loved every single character in it and rooted for their happiness.

This is such a romantic and lyrical tale! I wanted to wrap myself in a blanket and just enjoy the rainy and cold atmosphere of the setting. Definitely looking forward to a sequel!
