A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross (Hardback)

Jack Tamerlaine returns to Cadence after a decade away, dragged back from his life on the mainland when young girls begin to vanish from the isle. His skill as a bard may be the only way to draw out the spirits that weave through the land, carrying secrets on the wind and shaping the lives of those who live under their watch. Cadence is a place where magic lingers in the smallest details, and every rumour, song or gesture holds meaning.

Adaira, heiress of the east and Jack’s former rival, believes his music can coax the spirits into revealing the truth. Forced into an uneasy alliance, the two must set aside old wounds and uncover what hides behind the disappearances. As they work together, a fragile trust forms, shifting their long-held perceptions of each other.

Their search exposes signs of a deeper threat buried within the isle. The spirits are restless, and something dark moves beneath the surface of Cadence. Each clue reveals another layer of danger, drawing Jack and Adaira into a mystery far more complex than the missing girls. They soon realise that the fate of the isle may depend on understanding ancient secrets that were never meant to be revealed.
