What to expect
AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER
ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES' BEST ROMANCE NOVELS OF 2025
From World Fantasy Award-winning author Tasha Suri comes The Isle in the Silver Sea, a heart-shattering standalone romantasy of sapphic longing, medieval folklore and a love that spans the centuries.
? “Beautifully inevitable and surprising at the same time." –Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
In an England fuelled by stories, the knight and the witch are fated to fall in love and doom each other over and over, the same tale retold over hundreds of lifetimes. Simran is a witch of the woods. Vina is a knight of the Queen’s court.
When the two women begin to fall for each other, how can they surrender to their desires, when to give in is to destroy each other? As they seek a way to break the cycle, a mysterious assassin begins targeting tales like theirs.
To survive, the two will need to write a story stronger than the one that fate has given to them.
But what tale is stronger than The Knight and the Witch?
? “A sensuous and haunting story of love beyond time.” –Library Journal (Starred Review)
Critics Review
-
"Fiercely tender, wildly imaginative, and deeply smart, The Isle in the Silver Sea is an ode to the power of stories themselves--both to shackle us to our destinies, and to free us from them. One of my new all-time favorites."—Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling House
-
"A magnificent story about the strength of stories, full of grand love, adventure, and beauty! Completely captivating!"—Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop
-
"Simmering with tension and heartbreak, The Isle in the Silver Sea combines familiar folklore with a wholly original plot, coming together into a devastating tale of love, devotion, and fate. Vina and Simran’s story of duty and sacrifice is threaded with hope through steadfast found family and love that outlasts death and eternity. Suri is a master storyteller."—Tori Bovalino, author of Not Good For Maidens
-
“The Isle in the Silver Sea is a magnificent fantasy. Unapologetically queer, fiercely inclusive, and full to the brim with the extraordinary magic of stories, this is truly a masterpiece.” —Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

"The Isle in the Silver Sea swept me off my feet with its lyricism, spellbinding romance, and vivid characters who breathe, love, and bleed. Gorgeously folkloric. This book is a bit of spellcraft and Suri is definitely a witch."—Brigitte Knightley, author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy
