Thirsty River, Hungry Stones (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

In Louisville, Kentucky, a record-breaking drought has reduced the mighty Ohio River to a trickle, exposing ancient stones carved with warnings: If you can read this, there will be misery and hunger. As crops wither and the city chokes under triple-digit heat, the magical underworld knows this is no natural disaster.

Lila Pembroke has spent years hiding her true self behind a weather girl smile-brilliant, restless, and drawn to dangerous men like a moth to flame. Arden Sloane has spent those same years surviving on charm and psychometry, reading the secrets objects whisper when he touches them. They've been friends since college. They've never crossed the line. Until the river starts whispering back.

As hunger stones reveal centuries of carved warnings and the drought threatens to collapse what's left of the economy, Lila and Arden find themselves at the center of a supernatural storm. The weather spirits are angry. The magical community is desperate. And somewhere between failed rain rituals and midnight confessions, friendship ignites into something far more dangerous-and far more consuming.

In a city where the river holds long memories and the heat makes everyone reckless, two old friends will risk everything to make it rain. But breaking the drought might cost them more than they imagined. And some lines, once crossed, change everything.

A steamy urban fantasy romance set along the banks of a thirsty river, where the magic is real, the stakes are apocalyptic, and the only thing hotter than the Kentucky summer is the red-hot tension between two friends who are done pretending they're just friends.
