The Depths: Cherry Blossom Series Book 1 (Magical realism meets supernatural romance) “A story steeped in darkness… with glimmers of light.” Still reeling from devastating loss, Deana finds herself drowning in grief and untethered from the life she once knew. Seeking solitude beneath the familiar cherry blossom tree of her childhood, she hopes to find peace—but instead, she’s pulled into something far more mysterious. An unseen force, both haunting and alluring, binds her to an otherworldly presence. Trapped between sorrow and the strange pull of the supernatural, Deana begins a reluctant journey of self-discovery. As she confronts her inner darkness, she also begins to unravel the nature of her enigmatic captor—and the veil between reality and myth begins to lift. In a world laced with Scottish folklore and shadowed by the unknown, Deana must fight not only for freedom but for her own heart. Because some bonds are not easily broken… and some losses are only the beginning. Readers of V.E. Schwab, Katherine Arden, Neil Gaiman, Diana Gabaldon or Sarah J. Maas will find The Depths rooted in similar fantasy and magical themes.
