Pre-order now! Available November 11th.

After the wizard Crane breaks Yrae's Curse and leaves Deep River on a new quest, his best friend Elic is left to deal with the consequences. After a generation under a spell that stifled free thought, the village reawakens, but how can Elic trust any decisions he made before he was free? While considering whether to break his engagement to his childhood sweetheart, Elic reads his late mentor's diary, finding unexpected connections to his present dilemma, and to the mysterious figure at the heart of the curse.

"This is a sweet tale, even if I wanted to slap Elic on occasion. I love it when supporting characters take over the story." 

-Angelika Rust, author of the Resident Witch series

"A quiet, lyrical interlude in the midst of longer, more perilous adventures." 

-Steven E. Scribner, author of the Tond and MadStones series

“She’s done it! After reading Deep River Rising, I have to admit it: Karen Eisenbrey has made me a fan of cozy romantasies. Low-spice, no bloodshed, and smalltown stakes, and I enjoyed every minute of it!”

-Benjamin Gorman, author of The Convention of Fiends trilogy
