Years after the High King banned magic, whispers persist that a mage remembered only as the Martyr lies in hiding, waiting to lead the people into their powers once more.
For Maeve, the stories are just that, stories. But when her sister is gravely injured, she risks impalement on the dreaded Black Dock for a chance to buy the forbidden magic that could save her sister's life and trade her own to a ruthless and dangerously alluring rebel leader.
Bound to do the rebel leader's bidding, Maeve begins to suspect he knows more than he lets on. But as she probes deeper, a dark past emerges tying him to a prince who could be even more brutal than his father - and who could hold the key to whether they will live or die. With the Isle on the brink of war, trust and survival come at a terrible cost - one that will tear her world, and her heart, in two.©2026 Amanda Connolly

Critic reviews
A relentless ride through a land sundered by poison and rebellion, Connolly's The Lure of Wolves and Whispers is as raw, compelling, and as unflinching in the face of horror as its protagonist. The delicious slow-burn romance is the cherry on top of a masterfully-woven debut
[A] pulse-pounding romantasy debut. . . . Maeve's candid narration amplifies the tale's emotional impact, while subtle, effective worldbuilding adds texture. Political intrigue, high-stakes action, and a steamy love triangle between white-cued characters combine for a twisty, electrifying trilogy launch
This trilogy opener infused with Irish lore is a fast-paced, bloody story of cruelty, fear, and the fragile power of hope. The action begins on the first page and holds strong through the end. The characters are complex, and the romantic tension is steamy. . . A sizzling, high-stakes debut launching a series that readers will greedily devour
The Bachelor meets Throne of Glass in this atmospheric, slow-burn romantasy . . . The story is well-paced and readers will be kept on their toes as the plot shifts between the tasks of the competition, life in the castle, and Maeve's rebellious activities. A promising debut; hand to readers who enjoyed Lauren Roberts's Powerless and Shelby Mahurin's Serpent & Dove
