The tide had something left to show her.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Mara Ashford is no longer performing the witch of Carrow's End. The Ward Renewal held. The harbour ward stands. She reaches for the right mug without looking. The return date box says: to be confirmed. She is home - and she knows it.\u003cbr\u003eWhat she did not anticipate: home has requirements. When the Ward Renewal wakes an ancient binding no one knew was running - an agreement between an Ashford ancestor and a family long gone, still drawing on Carrow's End three generations after it should have closed - Mara finds herself facing the first problem her grandmother's notes cannot solve. \u003cbr\u003e The harbour wards have been running on borrowed power. The agreement cannot be closed bilaterally. And the only working that can fix it must be designed from first principles, by a witch confident enough to act without precedent.\u003cbr\u003eThen Sorren Vael arrives from the mainland - a tide-scholar with institutional backing, a letter of introduction, and the professional ease of someone who sees the witch of Carrow's End without the history of her becoming one. He is useful. He is warm. And Mara finds, uncomfortably, that watching Calder Merrick be collegial with someone else is not something she can file under professional.\u003cbr\u003e Mara gives herself until the King Tide to close what her predecessor left open.\u003cbr\u003e She does not calculate, going in, what closing it will require her to admit.\u003cbr\u003e The Witch's Tide is a coastal witch fantasy about a woman who built a life from competence and finds, in a winter of archive work and tidal magic and a problem with no precedent, that inhabiting a role and truly being it are different things - and that the second requires a kind of trust she has been very carefully not applying. It is a slow burn fantasy romance with a cozy mystery spine, sea magic at its heart, and a community that is no longer new.\u003cbr\u003e For readers of atmospheric fantasy, cozy fantasy mystery, and adult witch fantasy with slow burn romance - and for anyone who has ever been exactly where they belong and still found a reason to hold something at arm's length.\u003cbr\u003eBook Two of The TideBinder Chronicles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clare Morrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798184653969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Clare Morrow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49174176858367,"sku":"9798184653969","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-witchs-tide-clare-morrow-9798184653969","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
