The prodigal daughter returns to the land and the magic that betrayed her.
After her mother said goodbye on her death bed, Alana Marien fled New York and her family’s vineyard. Three years later, without a penny left to her name, she finds herself back at Seneca Lake, tending her family’s vines and attempting to make peace with her father and two sisters after everything fell apart. In her absence, without her and her mother’s guidance, the family hired Leo Calliet, a winemaker from France looking to escape a past of his own. He lives in the guest shed across the field, and is growing suspicious of the land and its secrets.
Her father has made it clear that he wants Leo around, but Alana is wary. The last time an outsider learned the truth, it ended in tragedy, and it was all her fault. She attempts to keep her distance, but when outside forces threaten the vineyard and the Marien family’s legacy, they need to work side by side to save the land that has evidently bound them together.
As their lives tangle together like grapes on a vine, Alana must decide if she trusts the magic to finally take care of her, or if she should give it all up one last time and run.
The Land That Binds Us is a retelling of The Prodigal Son meets Practical Magic, set on a magical vineyard in New York’s wine country.
Genre: Romance
