Books with title The Winter’s Tale

A modern Shakespeare retelling, The Winter’s Song is the story of a boy—a college dropout who spends his days snowboarding—and a girl—a musician who gave up the viola and is trying to work her way through college. The mismatched couple creates an unlikely bond when they find a collection of unread letters addressed to a baby who died years before. Together, they uncover clues to find a mysterious prisoner behind those letters. On the brink of discovery, the two are torn apart. Will they find their way back together and solve the mystery of the puzzling letters? Full of the romance of Shakespeare while set in the 1990s, The Winter’s Song unfolds a classic tale of unexpected love and family reconciliations, leading to a signature Shakespearean ending.

Everything within the walled-off city of the fae kingdom relies on order, but for Gwendolyn Clearwater, a sympathetic young healer, following the law can be difficult. In a single instant of pity and instinct, Gwen is sentenced to die in a labyrinth at the hands of a monster. Fate, though, has other plans. Saved by a young centaur named Gavrael who’s committed to protecting her, Gwen finds herself outside the walls and seeing what lies beyond for the very first time. Together in a world very different from what the fae had described and unlike anything she’d expected, Gwen and Gav set a trail of saved lives and healed travelers. However, no good deed goes unpunished, and their efforts drag them into the plotting human empire. With their newest weapon, the Winter Sun, the once neutral species has the power to reshape the world. Facing this new threat as well as her old life, Gwen has to learn that love and kindness will not be enough, and, with Gav by her side and the help of new friends, they must find a way to stop the humans and save a world that she only just became a part of.
