Description

There's no place like home—until it's gone

Ceri never thought she'd return to Rydding Village after she married a nobleman, but she also never thought that her stepson would inherit everything and send Ceri and her daughter packing. Now she's back at her parents' home, only to find they may lose it if the harvest fails—and it always rains during the harvest.

Would-be wizard Bryn believes the rainy harvests may be part of the curse that has left the village nearly abandoned, but he doesn't think he has the skill or knowledge to break the curse. The best he can do is find a way to save the harvest magically—but it will take the cooperation of the entire village.

Meanwhile, Ceri finds that her home isn't her only problem. The man she jilted to marry the nobleman is back in town, and one look at him makes it clear to her that she made the wrong choice. He's no longer just a farmhand, and he knows secrets that could ruin her. Does he want her back, or is he out for revenge?

To secure a future for herself and her daughter, Ceri will have to find the strength to face her past and trust a magic she's not entirely sure she believes in.
