FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Lorelei Kaskel, a folklorist with a quick temper and an even quicker wit, is on an expedition with six eccentric nobles in search of a fabled spring. The magical spring promises untold power, which the king wants to harness to secure his reign of the embattled country, and Lorelei is determined to use this opportunity to prove herself and to make her dream come true: to become a naturalist, able to travel freely to faraway lands. The expedition gets off to a harrowing start when its leader Loreleis beloved mentor is murdered in her quarters aboard their ship. The suspects are her five remaining expedition mates, each with their own motive. The only person Lorelei knows must be innocent is her long-time academic rival, the insufferably gallant and maddeningly beautiful Sylvia von Wolff. Now in charge of the expedition, Lorelei must find the spring before a coup begins and the murderer strikes again. But there are other dangers lurking in the dark: forests that rearrange themselves at night, rivers with slumbering dragons waiting beneath the water, and shapeshifting beasts out for blood. As Lorelei and Sylvia grudgingly work together to uncover the truth and resist their growing feelings for one another they discover that their professor had secrets of her own. Secrets that make Lorelei question whether justice is worth pursuing, or if this kingdom is worth saving at all.

Review "Richly imagined and as bewitching as a naiads song, A Dark and Drowning Tide deftly weaves romance with powerful indictments of the fetid, nationalistic roots of our favorite fairy tales. But for each prick of a prejudicial thorn, Saft offers her readers a balm-at its core, this is a story about the healing capacity of love. Clever, emotional, and gorgeous."-Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Juniper & Thorn Details ISBN183784061X Author Allison Saft Publisher Daphne Press Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781837840618 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-09-17 Imprint Daphne Press Country of Publication United Kingdom Alternative 9781837840625 Audience General UK Release Date 2024-09-17 ISBN-10 183784061X Pages 368 AU Release Date 2025-01-31 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
