About this listen

The only thing more dangerous than divining for water is falling in love with the enemy…

**2022 B.R.A.G. Medallion Award

****2022 Winner - The Wishing Shelf Book Awards

****2022 Gold Medal - Best Fantasy Romance - Global Book Awards

Solace is beautiful, strong-willed, and called the water witch by her neighbors. She divines for water in the arid hills of her home—a dangerous pastime across the border, where the king controls access to all the water.

Rhees is brooding, bitter, and hiding a deadly secret. But he’s determined to find a way to help the thirsty people of his land—even if it means kidnapping the last living water diviner.

But divining for water is against the law, punishable by death. Should Solace risk everything—including her heart—in a daring race to find water, or flee across the hills at her first chance of escape?

If you love warring kingdoms, strong, sassy heroines, and clean enemies-to-lovers romance, discover Water Witch, a complete romantic fantasy series for fans of Shari L. Tapscott, Kenley Davidson, and Melanie Cellier.

**Content Note: The Lightness of Water depicts an assault on Solace in which her blouse is ripped by her assailant**

This book had me gripped from the very beginning. I loved Solace's determination, resilience, and compassionate heart. I also loved the clever parallels in this book to Scripture.
I wasn't so sure about Rhees initially, but I quickly discovered his reason for kidnapping Solace and easily forgave him. The more I learned about his backstory, the more I admired him.
I thoroughly enjoyed the well-developed characters and found the story fast-paced and, at times, nail-biting. I didn't want to pause the narration for a second! The narrator was incredible. Her depiction of the characters had me immersed and invested in the story. I couldn't wait to see how Solace and Rhees would win the battle, and of course, I loved the enemies-to-lovers romance as well. 

If you're a fan of clean fantasy, this book is a perfect fit for you. With its engaging characters and thrilling adventure, it's a story that will keep you hooked from start to finish. I can't recommend this audiobook enough.

Fantastic Fantasy Adventure!
