Tempest Cursed: A Wuthering Heights Retelling
Despre această carte electronică
When spirited ten-year-old Pearl searches for magic and answers after her mother’s presumed drowning, she finds a strange boy named Hake instead. Raised cruelly by a monster called the Old One, eleven-year-old Hake possesses otherworldly powers and has the knowledge Pearl seeks. In exchange for a home, Hake agrees to show her magic. But Hake knows nothing of magic—only that Pearl’s romantic stories of the Deep Dwellers are a lie.
As the two grow into young adults together, both the mysteries they seek to unravel and their romantic feelings for each other become hopelessly entangled. However, Pearl’s father threatens to separate them if they dig too deeply into Tempest’s secrets: a hidden passage, a Deep Dweller cult, and rumors of human sacrifices. But when the wealthy and kind Lotham family arrives on Moon Tithe, offering Pearl an escape from the secrets that haunt her, her loyalty to Hake is challenged, especially when his monstrous nature is revealed.
Tempest Cursed is a magical, dark, loose retelling of the classic novel Wuthering Heights with finfolk and Selkie folklore.
