Description

From the author of The North Wind comes a dark and beguiling 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.
From the author of The North Wind comes a dark and beguiling tale of forbidden love, inspired by the Greek myth of Hero and Leander and the Scottish ballad Tam Lin.

🌟🌟🌟🌟

The West Wind by Alexandria Warwick is a captivating fantasy novel that shines through its intricate world-building and vivid descriptions, drawing readers into a mystical realm of elemental magic and ancient powers. The chemistry between the main characters is palpable, filled with tension and slow-burn romance that builds steadily throughout the story.

Warwick’s writing style is lyrical and immersive, blending rich details with emotional depth, while the pacing remains steady, though some parts feel slower as the world is carefully unveiled.

The balance between action and introspection keeps the narrative engaging, and the character development adds to the overall depth of the plot.

A standout quote, "The wind speaks to those who listen, and in its whispers, we find our strength," perfectly encapsulates the themes of power and self-discovery that run through the book. Overall,

The West Wind is a beautifully written, enchanting read that lingers long after the final page.

Thank you to Simon & Schuster Australia and NetGalley for this title.

I throughly enjoyed this romantasy! A number of times I put it down, but had to pick it back up ASAP to find out what was happening. I loved the enemies-to-lovers, slow burn romance. I thought the protagonist, Brielle's story, had an interesting discussion of faith, devotion and what it means to be loyal.

So glad I read this one and very much looking forward to the next one!
