Forty Words for Love

Forty Words for Love by Aisha Saeed

Fantasy

Text from the back cover:

Moonlight Bay is a magical place -- or it was once.  After a tragic death mars the town, the lavender and pink waters in the bay turn gray, and the forest that was once a refuge for newcomers becomes a scourge to the townspeople.  Yasmine is a child of the town.  Raf is an immigrant, a child of Willow Forest.  Yasmine and Raf have been friends since Raf first arrived.  As they've gotten older, their friendship has blossomed.  Not that they would ever act on these feelings.  The forest elders have long warned that falling in love with "outsiders" will lead to devastating consequences for anyone from Willow Forest.  But is this actually true?  Can Yasime and Raf find a way to be together despite it all?
