Andie Holman

Tell the bees, for they understand heartache. Dark magic comes at a cost, one that Jelly, warrior mermaid, must pay. After a brutal ritual gives her Fae powers, a vital piece of herself is missing. She must abandon everything and everyone to find it. If she fails her mission, her lover's brother will remain trapped in a horrifying dimension called the Hellhole. If she fails, her lover Mako may not forgive her.
If she fails, she will never forgive herself. She's sent to a queendom so foreign she can barely breathe, transformed into a body she can't possibly understand. Grappling with the enormity of her task, she struggles to appreciate the sorrows of the pollinators. But she must if she wants to succeed. N. N. Light's Book Heaven Editorial Review: "The Sorrow of Bees is a romantasy perfect for our times.
It's one of the most original stories I've ever read. Andie Holman takes us on a journey filled with emotional narration, magical world-building, characters who will captivate, all with an eco point of view. Trust me, you'll never see bees in the same light. Holman has penned another eco-romantasy that will have you thinking long and hard about the story. It's a poignant story that brings to light environmental issues, but in an approachable way.
Compassion and empathy will bubble up in your soul after reading The Sorrow of Bees."
