Brianna Barnes is sixteen, intelligent, sensitive, and in love. Things should be perfect. Except the man who adores her is thirty-seven and her high school guidance counselor. When the thrill of their illicit relationship comes crashing down, Brianna’s counselor, Trent Reynolds, is thrown into prison and her life into turmoil. Learning to survive behind bars as a convicted sex-offender, Trent struggles to fathom how things went so wrong. Could it be linked to what a family friend did to him as a child? Or to his father’s inexplicable brutality towards his only son? What comes next for Trent, his family, and his victim is completely unexpected. Prison psychiatrist Edmond Thackery is hopeful that against tremendous odds, Trent can overcome a lifetime of lies, abuse, and self-deception. Outside, those closest to Trent try to escape their own prisons in the aftermath of what his actions bring to light. A bold, gripping, and nuanced novel about the human capacity for deplorable acts, redemption, and transformation.

From the author of The North Wind comes a darkly reimagined tale of forbidden love, inspired by the Greek myth of Hero and Leander and the Scottish ballad Tam Lin. Brielle of Thornbrook has dedicated her life to the abbey. She spends her days forging iron and her evenings studying the Text, all in preparation of becoming an acolyte. Twenty-one years on this earth and she has never touched a man. And she never will. But when she finds an injured stranger in the forest, Brielle can’t resist the urge to help him. The encounter leads her to the realm of Under, where the air breathes rot, and the fair folk dance and whisper. Where she discovers that the man she helped is actually a god: Zephyrus, the West Wind, Bringer of Spring. There are few Brielle can trust in Under, least of all Zephyrus. He is charming, dangerously so, and never has a man so thoroughly ensnared her. As she embarks on a journey through the eerie banks and caves of Under, Brielle finds herself in a perilous situation. For here is where faith and heart collide—and where she risks not only her future…but her life.
