The Lake's Price

By Jane Pane

The lake has always demanded a price.
Now it comes to claim Mira.

Bound by an ancient curse, Mira and Kai stand on the edge of love and doom. When the drowned maidens rise from the depths, whispering promises of peace and eternity, Mira feels herself slipping into their world. Only Kai's desperate devotion keeps her tethered to the light.

But the lake is patient. It does not forget. To save Mira, Kai must offer gifts no mortal should give-blood, memory, and sacrifice-while facing the spirits that once swallowed his own family's sins. Betrayal coils around them, and even love may not be enough to break the vow carved into the water's heart.

With shadows stirring beneath the moonlit waves and the village willing to trade one life for many, Mira and Kai must decide what they are willing to pay. For the lake always takes more than it gives.

✨ A dark Slavic-inspired fantasy of love, betrayal, and curses, The Lake's Price is perfect for fans of Katherine Arden, Leigh Bardugo, and Hannah Whitten.
