We have a lot of eARC’s and we want to promote them a little bit more. So we decided to do some more Bookish Beginnings On Friday. Today I wanted to share the beginning of ..
When a promise is made, a fate is woven.
Imprisoned for a crime he cannot remember committing, Lucky is more comfortable with the four walls of his cell than the world outside. That is until he’s ripped free from his prison and swept out into the ocean. . . and rescued by The Dreamer.
But The Dreamer is no ordinary vessel, with its crew of outcasts and heretics who possess the ability to manipulate water. Lucky is taken under the protective wing of a sailor named Gabriel, but when he recognises Gabriel from his past, Lucky suspects it may not be a simple accident that threw them together.
To understand their connection and prove Lucky’s innocence, they must navigate treacherous waters, avoid giant Leviathan, and outwit those seeking to arrest them. But some memories hide secrets that could destroy all that they love. And with the tides of fortune ever-changing, the quest for freedom is just the beginning.
Fated Winds and Promising Seas is a queer fantasy, perfect for fans of Legends and Lattes and Nettle and Bone.
The four walls of his cell had become Lucky’s closest companions. Four grey walls, cold hard stone. A small window with bars – iron – and a view of the sea below. One door. Heavy. Only opened for food and his daily sojourn outside. He hated most things about the prison, but the walls were constant, at least.
The synopsis sounds really good and I like this first paragraph of the book. I immediately want to continue reading, especially if you consider that Lucky doesn’t remember why he’s in prison. What is going on and what did he do? I’m so curious!
So far (I did read a bit further than this) I also like the writing style. It reads easy and like I said, I want to keep on reading! As soon as I’m done with this post, I will be diving back in haha. Had you heard about this book? Are you excited for it? I would love to hear from you!
