WIND DAUGHTER

Old, wild magic is tearing the world apart, and a 17-year-old girl is the only one who can bind it.

The child of a weaver and a storyteller who used to be the North Wind, Satu North is a girl who appreciates her solitary life in a remote mountain house alongside her beloved parents and the bees she keeps. But Satu’s family’s story is still unfolding: When the bargain her father once made to become a mortal finally catches up to them, the Unraveling begins, and everything she knows and loves is gone. However, the daughter of the North Wind has a power of her own, and if she claims it, she may be able to rebuild the world. But where she goes, the Winter Lord—menacing yet strangely familiar—follows, yearning to take the power of the North Wind for himself. This stand-alone companion to Meyer’s Echo North (2019) weaves a powerful, beautiful spell in a storyline threaded with fairy-tale magic and heartwarming romance. Satu’s debilitating anxiety and her uncertainty about being worthy of calling herself the hero of her own story are well written and, combined with a kindness that becomes her most powerful weapon, contribute to her refreshing characterization. Satu has dark hair and brown skin like her mother; other characters read as White.

A rich, romantic tale of identity, agency, and love.
