The South Wind

A standalone fantasy novel brimming with rekindled romance, inspired by both the tale of Sleeping Beauty and the Greek legend of Theseus and the Minotaur, "The South Wind," authored by Alexandria Warwick, offers a tantalizing story. Princess Sarai of Ammara is burdened by a curse, destined to succumb to a lethal, unending slumber on her twenty-fifth birthday, which threatens to plummet her kingdom into disarray. In a desperate measure to protect Sarai and their realm, her father arranges her marriage to Prince Balior, an attractive aristocrat from a nearby land. However, Sarai's past love, the immortal South Wind known as Notus, reenters her life. Despite her resolve to ignore Notus and adhere to her father's wishes, Sarai uncovers unsettling truths about Prince Balior that suggest he might be the kingdom's undoing. Enlisting Notus in a fake engagement, Sarai seeks to uncover Prince Balior's true intentions and why he is fixated on the forbidding labyrinth within the palace grounds. Old feelings for Notus begin to resurface as they collaborate to thwart Balior's schemes. With the curse drawing near, Sarai must resist the allure of her desires, as any lapse could jeopardize her life and the fate of her entire kingdom. This book is perfect for admirers of authors like Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Scarlett St. Clair, and Raven Kennedy.
