This Raging Sea (De Elizabeth)

'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

'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' - 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.
