Rowena’s Song by Ivy Charlotte Dally

Her song is forbidden. But laws cannot bind her... Denmark, 435 AD. With the banishment of her father Hengest — and the deaths of countless others — on her conscience, nineteen-year-old Rowena spent most of her life successfully hiding her magic. Life as an unwed peace-weaver, a princess raised to be dutiful and placid wife, has since been uneventful. That all changes when a neighboring tribe proposes a marital alliance. Rowena’s powers overtake her attempts at silence. On the run from her abhorrent and untrustworthy bridegroom and the desperate power-grabs of her father, Rowena is soon tangled in the threads of a dangerous vendetta. When she seeks the help of the Norns — the weavers of fate — only evil appears. All seems lost until two Britons cross her path, one with a bold request and the other with unclear intentions. The pull in Rowena’s heart to aid these men in their quest feels like destiny...but magic has tricked her before. And as the song within her grows louder and more insistent, she must discover if it seeks to protect or destroy. The second edition of Rowena's Song was released on April 24, 2025. This lush romantasy is perfect for fans of Rebecca Ross, Naomi Novik, and C.L. Wilson.
