Caro Oresteia spent her life waiting to be called by the river god, as those in her family had been for generations. But when she’s swept away on an adventure to save the Akhaian royal prince, Markos, her destiny is sealed by the sea god instead.
For now, Caro is landlocked, helping Markos reclaim his throne after nearly his entire family was assassinated in a political coup. Without any financial or military support, Markos is desperate for allies, and Caro has fought off more than one attempt on his life. When a powerful Archon offers his army in exchange for Markos’s marriage to his daughter, Caro must choose: Her love for Markos, or the fate of Akhaia? And more importantly: How much is she willing to risk to defy the sea god’s wishes and chart her own course?
With shipwrecks, lost treasure, old and new enemies, dark magic, and breathtaking romance, Sarah Tolcser weaves another epic story about chasing your fate.

I am sort of sad that this series had ended, but at the same time, I’m also very happy with how it ended. Whisper of the Tide was definitely an up-to-par sequel to Tolcser’s debut, Song of the Current. (If you haven’t gotten to it, go!! read!! it!!)
Once again, Caro steals the show. I love love love Caro, she’s definitely one of my top favourite leading ladies. She’s tough, dedicated, and sarcastic enough that whatever her remarks were didn’t come off as annoying or whatever. One of the reasons Song of the Current appealed to me so much was because of her. Caro has never tried to be perfect and Tolcser does such a wonderful job with Caro’s flaws and insecurities.
I won’t lie, the beginning had me nervous. Caro and Markos aren’t at a very good spot, with all the royal things coming into play. There’s some relationship drama which had me super worried because I’m 100% trash for Markos & Caro. I mean, I get why it had to happen but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. But because of all this, it made their reunion so much sweeter! I love a couple who actually talk about things bothering them. (Even if this was kind of eventually…)
I won’t lie, I wasn’t expecting a lot of what happened in the middle of this book to, uh, happen. We have Caro stranded and separated and presumed dead. I love that she never gave up, but more than that, I love how we got to see her begrudgingly befriend one of her old enemies. It created for fun banter and exciting adventures.
Overall, this was just a fabulous book. Tolcser has done it again and I think she’s bound to be one of my favourite authors! I can’t wait to see what else she puts out. 4 stars and highly recommended!
