The Drowned Woods [Paperback]

In this magical, ethereal fantasy novel a crew led by a magic welding woman fight to take down the overpowered prince that used and abused themfrom the bestselling author ofThe Bone Houses.

Once upon a time, the kingdoms of Wales were rife with magic and conflict, and eighteen-year-old Mererid Mer is well-acquainted with both. She is the last living water diviner and has spent years running from the prince who bound her into his service. Under the princes orders, she located the wells of his enemies, and he poisoned them without her knowledge, causing hundreds of deaths. After discovering what he had done, Mer went to great lengths to disappear from his reach. Then Mers old handler returns with a proposition: use her powers to bring down the very prince that abused them both.

The best way to do that is to destroy the magical well that keeps the princes lands safe. With a motley crew of allies, including a fae-cursed young man, the lady of thieves, and a corgi that may or may not be a spy, Mer may finally be able to steal precious freedom and peace for herself. After all, a person with a knife is one thing ... but a person with a cause can topple kingdoms.
