The Bird and the Bell - (The Fisher King) by Sarah K L Wilson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A queen and a god will join forces to save their kingdom in the second book of this gorgeous and tempestuous slow-burn romantic fantasy tale that started with The Trident and the Pearl.

Coralys has made the ultimate sacrifice. She has saved the former sea god Okeonos and lost forever the chance to be with her former love. But Oke's gratitude is not simple. By saving him, she has ruined all progress he'd made towards his dream of saving their people from the god war raging around them. And their shared grief is an uneasy bedrock for their growing attraction.

But this time, at least, there will be no secrets. They will work together. They will complete Oke's list of impossible tasks. And they will finally bring about the safe haven their people deserve. However, the rest of the pantheon will not ignore two wayward gods for long. The gods of air, sea, and death have their own designs on Oke and Cora, and war will find them one way or another.
