Description

Spirit away with a whimsical fantasy filled with dark magic and flirty, polyamorous romance.

Cursed to haunt the river running through the magical spa town where she drowned, Gisela is a water nymph who dreams of returning to the living world and the family she left behind. All it takes to regain her humanity is a kiss from a mortal…but everyone sees her as a monster.

And then there’s Kazik, the brooding, interfering, spirit-hunting grandson of a local witch. He’s determined to rid the world of unholy creatures like Gisela. After Kazik botches Gisela’s exorcism, she strikes up a deal. She won’t tell the other spirits that he’s losing his magic, if he agrees to play matchmaker and helps her get a kiss. But Gisela’s plan goes awry when Kazik also falls for the devilishly handsome young man that she sets her heart on—someone who could be linked to Gisela’s troubled past.

Finely crafted with a magical setting, this delectable quest through the spirit world is an enchanting read for fans of queer romantasy.

Reviews

“Found family of other rusałka with diverse sexualities and gender identities, their irascible (but hot) immortal water goblin “grandfather,” and the small town setting with its witchy cottagecore aesthetic make this an appealing destination for fans of Jasinska’s The Dark Tide as well as readers in search of a cozy, flirty, folklore-inflected good time.”The Bulletin

“Engaging and immersive—a delight from start to finish.”Kirkus Reviews
