Dance with the Wind Susannah Welch

Love. Magic. And a young woman discovering both for the first time.

All 18-year-old Ylena wanted was to explore the City of the Goddess, a sparkling city with extravagant fashion, delicious coffee, and magic-wielding Priests. For a lonely outsider like Ylena, being in the middle of so many new experiences was more than she ever dreamed.

Instead, she got tricked into auditioning for a magical ceremony, one celebrating the Goddess whose High Priests rule the City. Every year, the young singers and dancers compete for the honor of performing in the magical ceremony. The enchanted performances are thrilling, but a single wrong note is blasphemy.

If learning her role wasn't hard enough, unexpected emotions make rehearsals even more complicated. There's Wilder, Ylena's flirty costar who knows more about the City's dark secrets than he's willing to tell, and Caed, her dance instructor, who is young, attractive, and a Priest.

And when Ylena manifests magic that makes her a threat, she must escape the spotlight at center stage, before the High Priests discover her secret.

Prepare to be swept into a world of beautiful magic, shocking twists, and breathless fairy tale romance. This coming of age, cozy fantasy explores grief and mental health without losing its whimsical, heart-warming spirit. Inside you will find a sweet, slow-burn romance with a swoon-worthy couple, and a happily-ever-after at the end of the trilogy.
