The Lightness of Water

Winner - The Wishing Shelf Book Awards

The only thing more dangerous than divining for water is falling in love with the enemy…

Solace is beautiful, strong-willed, and called the water witch by her neighbors. She divines for water in the arid hills of her home—a dangerous pastime across the border, where the king controls access to all the water.

Rhees is brooding, bitter, and hiding a deadly secret. But he’s determined to find a way to help the thirsty people of his land—even if it means kidnapping the last living water diviner.

But divining for water is against the law, punishable by death. Should Solace risk everything—including her heart—in a daring race to find water, or flee across the hills at her first chance of escape?

The Lightness of Water is the first book in the Water Witch duology. Also check out the sequel, The Way of Water.

Available in Kindle Unlimited and as ebook, paperback, and audiobook.

Reviews

"An exquisitely refined fantasy adventure...it is not the worldbuilding that drives this novel, it is instead Cabell's dynamic and well-rounded characters. Despite how classic the enemies-to-lovers storyline may be, the palpable tension between Solace and Rhees brings new life to the well-worn trope. Intense dangers brought on by powerful enemies add an exhilarating level of uncertainty to the unfolding drama, urging the story into more than a few exciting and suspenseful action scenes. Highlighted by a breathtaking romance, The Lightness of Water is an exquisitely refined fantasy adventure that will keep you reading well into the night." (Indies Today)

"A cleverly crafted fantasy packed full of mystery, adventure, and romance! Highly recommended...the characters spring off the page. Although there is a plot, it is the characters in this drama who hold everything together. This story is a perfectly balanced mix of 'speech' and 'a well-paced plot'...There were plenty of twists and turns to keep me turning the page, and the characters (the kind, the strange, and the mysterious) were interesting - even memorable...if you enjoy character-led novels with a strong element of suspense, The Lightness of Water is for you."
