Romance
Perfect for fans of Deborah Harkness and Elizabeth Kostova,
The Water Watch is a breathtakingly sexy and atmospheric new
novel of ancient folklore, passionate love, and thrilling
magic.
After casting out a dark spirit, Callie McFay, a professor
of gothic literature, has at last restored a semblance of
calm to her rambling Victorian house. But in the nearby
thicket of the honeysuckle forest, and in the currents of
the rushing Undine stream, more trouble is stirring. . . .
The enchanted town of Fairwick’s dazzling mix of mythical
creatures has come under siege from the Grove: a sinister
group of witches determined to banish the fey back to their
ancestral land. With factions turning on one another, all
are cruelly forced to take sides. Callie’s grandmother, a
prominent Grove member, demands her granddaughter’s
compliance, but half-witch/half-fey Callie can hardly betray
her friends and colleagues at the college. To stave off
disaster, Callie enlists Duncan Laird, an alluring seductive
academic who cultivates her vast magical potential, but to
what end? Deeply conflicted, Callie struggles to save her
beloved Fairwick, dangerously pushing her extraordinary
powers to the limit—risking all, even the needs of her own
passionate heart.
