Now Madeleine’s back. All Hæra has to do is remain in human form, earn her woman’s trust, then devour her.

But Madeleine is awakening another kind of appetite…

Rep: wlw, butch lesbian mc, femme lesbian mc, gay sc

Hæra has one dream: to become the first female Stormhorse, a powerful leader in her clan of fearsome ocean horse spirits. To do so, she must capture, drown, and eat a worthy human. When she first saw Madeleine, she knew she’d found the one. So why did Hæra save her instead?

Instead, her search is disrupted by Hæra North, a brazen, provocative local who stirs Madeleine’s repressed desires—and keeps a secret out of legend.

SUMMARY: Six years ago, on a remote Scottish island, a mysterious woman saved Sister Madeleine Laurent from drowning. Now, after leaving her convent, Madeleine crosses the ocean again to find the rescuer who changed her life.
