Entwined – H M Long

There were no clocks, and no windows to see the sun by, but I felt the passage of time in the emptiness of my stomach. “Come with me,” she said, and led me downstairs with a Silver mage at our heels. She said no more, and try as I might I could not read any clues from the perfect lines of her posture and her lovely, caged face. Down the stairs. Across the foyer. I felt a shock of trepidation, then a shudder of confused hope as a servant opened the door and we swept outside.

That hope surged as I saw a carriage waiting at the gate. The city was calm in the dusky half light and my threads openly twined, creeping above my collar and over my jaw and temples. “I am sending you to Kesterlee,” Madge said, gesturing me towards the carriage.

“Matters in Harrow are growing increasingly unpredictable, and there is no need for you to remain. These mages will ensure your safety on the road.” I noted several Silver mages standing beside the carriage in fine but practical travelling clothes. They would present a challenge, but I could not have hoped for less. Kesterlee was a long journey, a day and a night. We would need to stop to rest, to at least change the horses. There would be a chance to escape.

Or to be rescued. But Madge had to know that. So why was she taking this risk? Was it truly to keep me safe, or simply to have me out of the way? I eyed her. “Why are you doing this?” She looked down her nose at me, white lashes thick around her blue eyes. “Pardon me?” “What has changed?” I asked. She glanced from me to the waiting mages.

That was her only movement, other than a twitch of her hand. Her hand that bore her wedding ring.

HANNAH F. WHITTEN, New York Times-bestselling author of For the Wolf “Entwined will sweep you off your feet to another time and place, filled with sparkling wit and breathless adventure. Ottilie is a heroine like no other!” SUNYI DEAN, Sunday Times-bestselling author of The Book Eaters “A cheeky heroine, a unique magic system, and a compelling world make Entwined an exciting start to this action-packed duology by H.M. Long. I eagerly await the second installment!”

GENEVIEVE GORNICHEC, author of The Witch’s Heart “Intriguing, heartfelt world-building” CAITLIN ROZAKIS, New York Times-bestselling author of Dreadful “Ottilie’s search for salvation becomes a battle between safety, love, and the dangerous truth of who she truly is. Perfect for readers of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros, this spellbinding romantic fantasy brims with rebellion, sisterhood, and the perilous cost of freedom.” KATHLEEN KAUFMAN, author of The Entirely True Story of the Fantastical Mesmerist Nora Grey “Fans of H.M. Long will find everything they adore here—characters you root for; unique and gorgeous magic with the perfect dose of darkness; a cinematic sense of place; ambitious, breathless action.

Add Gilded Age fashion, sword fights, rebellion and romance, and Entwined is a fantasy adventure as engrossing as any in the canon. I emerged from reading this in a breathless daze, desperate for the sequel!” HANNAH MATHEWSON, author of Witherward “Entwined is H.M. Long’s best work to date—and that is saying something! A lush, Gilded-Age-inspired world sets the stage for a story that is just as witty and charming as its protagonist.

In Entwined, Long once again demonstrates her deftness at creating indelible, believable characters that capture the many facets and depths of what it means to be a strong woman. This book is utterly entrancing, effortlessly engaging, and a roaring good time. I, for one, already cannot wait to get my hands on the sequel.”

MJ KUHN, author of Among Thieves “With a whip-smart heroine on a dangerous quest to recover an ancient artifact, a light-based magic system that is cinematic in visuals, and a whimsical voice and construction reminiscent of Miyazaki’s Howl’s Moving Castle, Entwined will delight and surprise readers.

H. M. Long stuns again with this Gilded-Age-inspired fantasy that explores the framework of discrimination and othering that arises when different classes of people are systematically placed in separate boxes. Long has a sharp instinct for grounding readers in a realistic, historic setting while cleverly weaving the fantasy elements every SFF reader craves. It was impossible to put down.” GABRIELA ROMERO LACRUZ, #1 Sunday Times- bestselling author of The Sun and the Void OceanofPDF.com OceanofPDF.com Also by H.
