Miranda Levi

I just finished a book on Universal Fantasy and marketing, and I’m absolutely amazed by it. It feels like my brain has always operated one way—like clockwise—and now it’s suddenly shifted to counterclockwise. Being neurodivergent, perhaps it’s always been more counterclockwise, but now it’s as if it’s trying to function digitally! Long story short, I’m so excited and needed to share with someone. And if you’re curious about the book, it’s by T.Taylor and it’s butter. Yes, butter.

The Sea Withdrew now reads….

“I know you want this body back to its original form. Host and all,” I say. “I’m willing to part ways with it.”
Scarlet sits a little taller.
“That is, if you’re willing to be mine.”
“Be yours?”
“Yes.”
“I’m my own person.”
I say nothing.
“What happens to Zig?” Scarlet asks.
“When I leave this body, that will be up to him.” I finger the rim of my wine glass, holding her eyes.
“When will you leave his body?” Scarlet’s voice betrays her hardly a whisper.
“That will be up to you.”
Scarlet narrows her eyes. “I have conditions.”
“I expect nothing less, my dear.”
“I’m not your dear.”
“Not yet.”

The second installment in the Fountain of Youth series is a journey that transcends time, testing loyalty and revealing the captivating unknown, reminiscent of, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.

The journey to fulfill this Faustian bargain is dark and far from simple. Scarlet and Dagon must find a new host for the ancient entity. As they navigate this perilous quest, Dagon surprises Scarlet with a mysterious journal, a key to unlocking memories of the countless women Scarlet has been in her past lives.

The revelations within the journal open Scarlet’s eyes to a world beyond her wildest imagination. She discovers the vastness of existence and comes to question everything she thought she knew about Dagon. Is there more to him than the malevolence she once believed, or is he manipulating her for his own sinister agenda?

The stakes are higher, the secrets deeper, and Scarlet’s journey becomes a test of loyalty, self-discovery, and the true nature of the world around her. Will Scarlet sacrifice everything for Zig, or will the allure of newfound knowledge and the enigmatic Dagon prove too irresistible?
