**2022 Gold Medal - Fantasy Romance - Global Book Awards** 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? Beauty and the Beast meets The Hunger Games in this thrilling romantic fantasy. Pick up The Lightness of Water by award-winning author Toni Cabell, and be swept into a world of betrayal, mystery, and heart-stomping action. **The Lightness of Water depicts an assault on Solace that may disturb some readers of Toni's other Young Adult books** Praise for The Lightness of Water: "An exquisitely refined fantasy adventure that will keep you reading well into the night."
