Cassandra Graves returns to Winwood Cottage, a place of childhood haunts and memories, hoping to find a few weeks of solace in her painting and the sea. Instead, an impulsive walk on a misty Oregon beach results in the discovery of two Russian scientists on the run. From the moment she meets Nikolai and dark-eyed Seriozha, Cassandra’s safe, secure existence is challenged and changed, along with her perception of what love should be. Flower of Winds is a windy walk on an Oregon deach, a terrifying chase through mist and darkness, a love story that defies barriers of tradition and time, and an experience you’ll want to savor again and again.
