Lakesedge series5/21/2023 With this gothic tale comes a budding romance between Rowan and Leta, but it doesn’t take center stage. For me, he reads much younger, although he seems more like a teen as the story progresses. I thought he was around eight-years-old, but was surprised he’s actually thirteen. Leta is extremely overprotective of Arien and, although annoying at first, the reason becomes clear. The estate and lands surrounding it are slowly dying from a magical corruption, and Rowan needs their help in defeating it. Soon after settling in, it becomes clear Rowan isn’t the monster he’s rumored to be, but instead is cursed by a deal he made with the Lord Under as a child. Rowan Sylvanan, lord of Lakesedge estate, sees something in him and takes them in, but Leta isn’t sure if their situation is improved. You’ll want to learn its hidden secrets.Īfter losing their parents at a young age, Leta and her brother, Arien are taken in by a woman who was initially kind to them, but became cruel and abusive when Arien began showing signs of dark magic. With a bleak manor, sinister woods, cursed black lake, and young, mysterious lord said to have drowned his family, it’s easy to immerse yourself in this world. If you’re looking for an atmospheric read for this time of year, this is it. It’s used as a comp title for this novel, and the cover really sets the tone for the story. I enjoyed the gothic atmosphere of the visually stunning movie Crimson Peak.
