What if you could command the ocean with your voice? Imagine calling storms, bending tides, and ruling the waves with nothing but a song. Now imagine losing it all.

Marguerite is a seawitch, born to wield the ocean's power. But when she’s abandoned in a desert - a place where the tides are just a distant memory - her magic fails her. Stripped of control, surrounded by heat and silence, she's forced to confront a world she can't bend to her will.

Then come the strangers: a wanderer with quiet strength, his sister whose sharp gaze sees too much, and a wisewoman who seems to know Marguerite better than she knows herself. These unlikely companions teach her to survive in the harshest of lands, but Marguerite's presence awakens something ancient beneath the sands - something dangerous.

A single mistake could destroy the fragile bonds she's built and unleash devastation across the desert. Can Marguerite find a new kind of power before it's too late, or will the storm inside her finally win?

A Song to Drown the World is a spellbinding tale of magic, self-discovery, and the unexpected connections that make us whole.

About the Author

Rowena Spring's storytelling journey began with a twist of dark humor - a prize-winning childhood tale about a murderous unicorn. It was a fitting prelude to a lifetime of weaving the fantastical with the unexpected. With a career steeped in science and heritage communication, Rowena has spent much of her professional life exploring the fascinating intersection of technology, society, and human connection.Her writing - featured in anthologies and literary magazines like The New Quarterly - blends the surreal with the intimate, creating worlds where magic and reality coexist in mesmerizing harmony. A perennial vagabond, Rowena draws inspiration from her years on the east coast, where the ocean's restless rhythm shaped her imagination, and from a lifetime spent with horses, whose grace and power inform the heartbeat of A Song to Drown the World.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
