‘Threaded with mystery and elegantly haunting, This Raging Sea is impossible to put down and has the kind of epic love story that will take your breath away’ – CG Drews, New York Times bestselling author of Don't Let The Forest In

Combined with a propulsive mystery and characters whose plights will tug at your heartstrings – not to mention the kind of authentic queer rep that means so much to me – This Raging Sea is an utterly unputdownable story’ – MK Lobb, author of Seven Faceless Saints

Briar Winters has just graduated from high school, but while her friends are getting ready to start new lives away from their witchy, tourist-trap seaside hometown, Loch Creek, Briar is stuck. Stuck and haunted by the water that surrounds her.

When Finn, the one boy she's ever loved, disappears from the annual seaside carnival there's only one person who can help Briar find him: her biggest enemy – an enemy who knows her darkest secret . . .

It quickly becomes clear that Finn has gone much further than anyone could have imagined. He's lost in time. And in her search for him, Briar will uncover generations of secrets and sinister hidden horrors in picture perfect Loch Creek . . .

A spooky gothic romance that transcends time, perfect for fans of Our Infinite Fates and The Wicked Deep.

“As haunting as it is romantic, THIS RAGING SEA manages to make the distinct nostalgia of summers
with a first love feel like an unsettling funhouse. A propulsive, melancholic read from the first page to
the last.”

"The writing is stunningly evocative, and the atmosphere of dark whimsy sinks claws into your skin and
doesn’t let go. Combined with a propulsive mystery and characters whose plights will tug at your
heartstrings—not to mention the kind of authentic queer rep that means so much to me—THIS
RAGING SEA is an utterly unputdownable story."

This Raging Sea is an ode to fiercely imperfect love and the fiercely imperfect people who feel it.
Love that transcends time and space—and love that endures past the romantic into the innate. This
haunting ocean gothic made me cry tears of joy, tears of sadness, and tears of deep satisfaction.

-- Kamilah Cole, bestselling author of the Divine Traitors duology * Kamilah Cole, bestselling author of the Divine Traitors duology *

This Raging Sea swept me away with its unforgettable characters and astounding magic. A hauntingly
beautiful, deeply nostalgic story about friendship and the kind of love that defies even the laws of physics.
