Full Description
From the bestselling author of The North Wind comes the final instalment in the Four Winds series - a sweltering standalone romance inspired by the fairytale Rapunzel and the Greek myth of Psyche and Eros. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Scarlett St. Clair and Raven Kennedy.
Min of Marles is a bane weaver, assisting the town's apothecary in brewing potions, tonics, and the deadly poisons for which she is known. High in the estate tower where she works, a powerful immortal is kept chained, tortured daily for information. His screams haunt her waking and dreaming hours. A god, she learns. The East Wind, Eurus, who commands the sea-born storms.
A poor attempt to free him leads to Min's imminent capture and being subsequently forced to work in his employment. But the East Wind has greater plans for her. In the City of Gods, a tournament is held every thousand years, in which the winner may ask a favour from the esteemed Council of Gods. If Eurus wins, he will ask the council to reverse his banishment, the sentence that exiled him and his brothers to the mortal realms. And he requires a deadly poison to ensure that, once the favour is granted, the council will succumb to sleep and never again wake.
In order to earn her freedom, Min must agree to Eurus' bargain. But as they work together to defeat the deadly trials, she realizes the depth of her feelings toward the East Wind deepens. And if she ever wishes to return home, she must betray the god she loves.
