Hoarfrost by Rowan Ravenheart – Paperback / Hardcover (Raven & the Lake, #1)
Hoarfrost by Rowan Ravenheart begins The Raven & the Lake with a second-chance, fated-mates fantasy romance set in a dying Faery. Celtic mythology, Arthurian legend, old gods, and ruinous magic shape a world where broken love is bound to the fate of a realm.
Three years ago, Jesryn Hallows fled Faery and the fated mate who betrayed her. Beyond the Veil, she built a mortal life and tried to forget both the magic and the man she left behind.
Now Faery is unraveling. Ley lines are failing, magic is bleeding away, and Arthurian prophecies stir beneath the drowned bones of Avalon. Summoned home to accept the mantle she once refused, Jesryn must face Owyn Corey.
Years with a frayed matebond have left Owyn volatile, obsessive, and haunted by the woman he never stopped seeking. Neither can deny the bond that remains, and their turbulent emotions are feeding into the failing ley lines.
As mortal towns and fae kingdoms begin to merge, Jesryn and Owyn must confront the choice that broke them and decide whether their surviving love can save their world.
