Of Ink and Sea

The Bristol Sea divides Cornwall and Wales—and sings an enticing tale to Sienna Rothesay, an English born, American raised photographer. Since childhood, she’s fought the temptation to listen to its siren song.

When Ioan Waif, an enigmatic neighbor from her Welsh days calls her home to care for her ailing grandfather, Sienna is faced with an old myth that hints at a nefarious secret, linking her ancestors with Ioan’s.

To uncover the truth, she must walk the blurry path between legend and reality but with more questions than answers, she fears giving into her heart will cost Sienna her head.

My thoughts: This story is truly one of a kind! I enjoy Time slip/dual timer period stories, and found this one to be unique and original in how the author weaves the stories together. I also really loved the setting of it. For those, like me, who are feeling like your wings are clipped when it comes to traveling, the setting of this story was like a small trip. This is a wonderful story to pick up and enjoy! I look forward to reading more by Clarissa Kae!

I was supposed to go to Wales for my 40th birthday which is this month January 2021. But COVID happened. Instead, I delved into Wales for a setting and never looked back.
