About the Book: When two painted-faced nobles take a guided raft trip on a muddy river, they expect to rough it for a few weeks before returning to their life of sheltered ease, but when mysterious swirls start appearing in the water even their seasoned guides get rattled.

The mystery of the swirls lures them on to seek the mythical wetlands known as the Living Waters. They discover a world beyond their imagining, but stranger still are the worlds they find inside their own minds as they are drawn deep into the troubles of this hidden place.

The Living Waters is a Sword-Free Fantasy novel featuring an ethereal love story, meditation magic, and an ancient book with cryptic marginalia.

About the Beverage: Dan recommends pairing THE LIVING WATERS with a Tazo Organic Zen green tea because “the book has a zen-like calm, with no swords and no death. It features meditation magic, which allows some characters to connect in a mind-meldy sort of way.”

About the Author: Dan Fitzgerald is the fantasy author of the Maer Cycle trilogy (character-forward low fantasy) and the Weirdwater Confluence duology (sword-free fantasy with unusual love stories), both from Shadow Spark Publishing.

His upcoming Time Before trio of romantic fantasy standalones will be independently published, starting with The Delve in January 2023.

He lives in Washington, DC with his wife, twin boys, and two cats. When not writing he might be found doing yoga, gardening, cooking, or listening to French music.

THE LIVING WATERS is book one of the Weirdwater Confluence, a sword-free duology currently on KU. THE LIVING WATERS is available in e-book form through Amazon, and the paperback and a special edition hardback are available to order through any bookstore.
