Audiobook Summary-

The Dark Tide by Alicia Jasinska is a thrilling young adult fantasy novel loaded with witchcraft, sacrifice, and sapphic romance, which makes it a read to pick up for anybody who enjoys LGBTQ+ fantasy novels and dark magic books. Every year, the town of Caldella chooses a girl to sacrifice to the tide in a desperate bid to ward off the oncoming dark waters. Lina, a strong and determined young woman, never thought that her younger brother would be abducted. Defiantly, she volunteers herself as a substitute and is brought to the witch queen Eva's castle. But rather than finding hatred or cruelty, Lina finds a broken and complex girl in Eva, whose tough exterior conceals pain and doubt. As the two girls spend more time together, emotions develop between them, confusing the boundaries between captor and companion. But the dark tide's binding magic is not to be denied, and the days are running out. Lina and Eva need to choose what they are prepared to give up—not only for the survival of the town, but for one another. Atmospheric world-building and emotional resonance combine in Jasinska's moody, romantic novel of love, loss, and bravery. The Dark Tide is ideal for fans of queer fantasy, enemies-to-lovers romances, and morally ambiguous heroines.
