Spice 2 of 5, five tropes and one content warning. Spice, tropes and warnings show how sure we are.

Set on the magical isle of Cadence, where enchantments shape daily life and capricious elemental spirits rule land, water, fire, and wind, this first book in the Elements of Cadence series follows Jack Tamerlaine, a bard who has spent ten years studying music on the mainland. When young girls begin disappearing from his home clan, Jack is summoned back to the isle. He reluctantly joins forces with Adaira, heiress of the east and his childhood rival, who believes his music can call forth the spirits and help recover the missing. As they work together, their rivalry shifts into something more, while the truth behind the disappearances proves darker than expected, revealing an older secret buried in the island itself.
