Цикл книг «Четыре ветра» — 4 книги

Уже триста лет земли вокруг Эджвуда скованы льдом, а Темь — магический барьер, защищающий жителей от Мертвых земель за его пределами, — слабеет. Остановить падение Теми может лишь одно: кровь смертной девушки, связанной узами брака с Северным Ветром. Он — бессмертный бог, его сердце сковано льдом, как земли, которыми он правит. И настало время выбрать его невесту.

Рен из Эджвуда не надо рассказывать, как тяжела может быть жизнь. После смерти родителей на ее плечи ложится забота о себе и сестре, чтобы они могли выжить на землях суровой и вечной зимы. Но если легенды не врут, скоро им станет небезопасно даже в собственном доме.

Когда Северный Ветер обращает свой взор на сестру Рен, она готова на все, чтобы спасти ее. Даже пожертвовать собой. Но смертная она или нет, Рен не намерена сдаваться без боя...

Long before civilization, there were the gods. And before the gods, there was the earth, the celestial bodies, and air given flesh. They are the Anemoi—the Four Winds—and they have been banished to the four corners of the world. Brielle of Thornbrook has dedicated her life to the abbey. She spends her days forging iron and studying the Text, all in preparation of becoming an acolyte—a shepherd of the Father. Twenty-one years on this earth and she has never touched a man. And she never will. Yet dark things uncoil beyond Thornbrook's high stone walls. A chance encounter with an alluring stranger leads Brielle to Under, where the air breathes rot and the roots grow black. Zephyrus, Bringer of Spring, with eyes of green. In Under, those Brielle can trust are few, least of all Zephyrus. But never has a man so thoroughly ensnared her. When faith and heart collide, Brielle learns how quickly threads unravel, even her most sacred vow: thou shalt not forsake the Father. For He is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory. Forever and ever. Amen.

Despite her distrust of her ex-lover, old feelings resurface while they team up to stop the scheming prince. As the deadly curse looms closer, Sarai must remain steadfast against the temptation of her desires. Any distraction could cost her life…and destroy her entire kingdom.

Min of Marles is a skilled apprentice, assisting the town's apothecarist in brewing potions, tonics, and deadly poisons. 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 hasty attempt to free him leads to Min’s own capture and forced employment to the East Wind as an aide to his grand plans for revenge. In the City of Gods, a tournament is held every thousand years, in which the winner may ask a favor from the esteemed Council of Gods. If Eurus wins, the council must reverse his banishment, the sentence that exiled him and his brothers to the mortal realms. But he requires a deadly poison to ensure that, once the favor is granted, the council will pay for his centuries long exile. To earn her freedom, Min reluctantly assists in Eurus’s plans. As they work together to defeat the deadly trials, she realizes her relationship to the East Wind isn’t purely transactional. But if she ever wishes to return home, she must betray the god she loves.
