Sequel to National Bestseller Carousel Sun. A gripping contemporary fantasy thriller from master storyteller Sharon Lee, award-winning cocreator of the highly popular Liaden Universe® saga.
NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED
Welcome to Archers Beach in the Changing Land, the last and least of the Six Worlds, where magic works, sometimes, and the Guardian husbands the vitality of the land and everyone on it -- earth spirit and plain human alike.
Kate Archer, Guardian and carousel-keeper, has been busy making some changes of her own, notably beginning a romantic relationship with Borgan, the Guardian of the Gulf of Maine, Kate's opposite number, and, some would say, her natural mate.
Oh, and she's been instrumental in releasing the prisoners that had been bound into the carousel animals -- which she's inclined to think is a good thing. . .
Until a former sea goddess sets up housekeeping in the Gulf of Maine, challenging Borgan's authority; endangering Kate and everything she holds precious.
. . .because the goddess has fallen in love in Borgan; and she'll stop at nothing to possess him.
Archers Beach is about to suffer a sea-change -- and the question is whether Kate can survive it.
Nationally best-selling co-creator of the Liaden Universe® saga, Lee brings high energy action and romance to this tale of contemporary fantasy and redemption.

About Carousel Tides
“[A] pyrotechnic finale that plays out magically behind the ordinary facade of smalltown Maine life, evoking much of the romance and magic of [Lee’s] popular Liaden series.” –Publishers Weekly
"[A] virtuoso ride, full of the spirit of the carnival, aware of the thinness of the veil between the worlds. . .a rollicking tale full of non-stop action. . .and yet there's also a quiet at its heart, because there really is this magic in everything and Sharon Lee knows how to spin it."–SFsite
On Sharon Lee & Steve Miller’s Liaden Universe® Space Opera Epic
“Lee and Miller’s novels are full of action, exotic characters, plenty of plot, and even a touch of romance. The world building is outstanding.” –Booklist
Sharon Lee has been married to her first husband for more than half her lifetime; she is a friend to cats, a member of the National Carousel Association, and oversees the dubious financial schemes of an improbable number of stuffed animals. Despite having been born in a year of the dragon, Sharon is an introvert. She lives in Maine because she likes it there. In, fact, she likes it so much that she's written four novels set in Maine mysteries Barnburner, and Gunshy, as well as contemporary fantasies Carousel Tides and Carousel Sun. With the aforementioned first husband, Steve Miller, Sharon has written eighteen novels of science fiction and fantasy–many of them set in the Liaden Universe® –and numerous short stories. She has occasionally been an advertising copywriter, a reporter, photographer, book reviewer, and secretary. For three years, she was executive director of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, and was subsequently elected vice president, and then president of that organization.
Carousel Seas Carousel Tides Series Book 3 eBook Sharon Lee
Carousel Seas is the third in a series of contemporary fantasy novels by Sharon Lee, co-author of the Liaden sci-fi series. Taking place shortly after the end of the second book, this one continues to build on the action of the previous novels. In this installment, Kate Archer’s life is complicated by two of the escaped prisoners from her family’s enchanted carousel. While one of them turns out to be a friend, the other creates serious problems for Kate’s love, Borgan, Guardian of the Sea.Unlike the previous novel in the series, Carousel Sun, there’s more of a focus on the fantastical aspects of Kate’s life in this book, as she continues to learn what she can do with her magic and as Guardian of the Land for Archer’s Cove. At the same time, she still has to deal with more mundane problems, both large—the company who owns the amusement park housing her carousel has decided to sell the land to developers—and small—Kate gets caught up in plans to remove a feral cat colony. (As a consequence of which, Kate gets a cat. Oh, and cats are apparently magical, which will surprise no one who has ever lived with one.) This mixture of the magical and the mundane characterizes this series, and to me, it’s one of its strengths, making the fantasy seem more rooted in the reality of our world.
If you’ve read and enjoyed the rest of the series, you will definitely want to read this novel, too. If you’re new to the series, you should give it a try if you enjoy character-driven fantasies with leisurely pacing. I wouldn’t start with this one, though, because you really need the background of the other books to make sense of the plot. Just start with Carousel Tides and treat yourself to the entire series.
From the way the book ends, it seems as if this particular series of novels set in Archer’s Cove has come to its natural conclusion. Lee does leave the door open to picking up the action at some point in the future, though. If so, I’ll be reading!

Carousel Seas Carousel Tides Series Book 3 eBook Sharon Lee Reviews
I love this whole series. The changing lands do change people.
Sharon Lee is one of my favorites, and this book was a satisfying conclusion to the Carousel series. The series is a departure from the Laiden Universe that Ms. Lee and her husband write, but it has the same good character development and interesting plot that I have found in her other books. Definitely a good purchase if you enjoy contemporary fantasy books.
Excellent book of an outstanding series. Have all the books now, and enjoy revisiting them. Lee is one of my favorite authors, so I'm always happy to see a new story by her.
Sharon Lee is one of the best story tellers of our day. If you like fantasy fiction with inviting characters and complex, fascinating story lines this is a book for you. I practically read the whole book in one sitting.
This is an excellent read, but I fear to continue. As to be expected, the first is best, quite fantastic, but with any series of great fantasy the challenge becomes how to out do oneself. What remains to be done, how can one continue a series of fantastic events, might it devolve into an endless competition with the first installment, which of course will become soap opera fantasy? Where can it go from here, must Sharon Lee give up and strike out in a new direction? It will be worth watching this imagination flow.
Return to Archers Beach, Maine, which is part of The Changing Land (last, and some say least of the Six Worlds.) Sometimes magic works there and sometimes it doesn’t—but always, magic Changes things. Kate Archer is the current Guardian and also keeper of the carousel, which is the portal to the other worlds and until recently was also the prison for the worst of criminals. The Wise sentenced them in hopes of Changing them for the better. The swirl of magic that was packed into Carousel Sun broke those bindings, freeing the criminals to die, flee, or hide.
Now Kate and her friends and neighbors must deal with one of the hidden, a powerful sea goddess who has designs on Kate’s boyfriend Borgan, the Guardian of the Gulf of Maine, and also on the Gulf. But this plotting injures the Sea herself—and when the Sea grieves, everything is at risk. Once again Lee gives us her atmospheric, densely woven story filled with curious, quirky, and very believable creatures from Beyond. There are also slow-moving romances and swift dangers, cats with agency, and a lesson in just how strong and subtle the least of the magic worlds may be. Kate has made both powerful friends and dangerous enemies, and the bindings she has made must take her into the future.
Recommended. I think you can read this as a stand-alone, but I recommend starting with Carousel Tides. Why not take the entire journey? I will keep this book and read it again, and in an age of shrinking book space, that's a compliment!
The third book in the Kate Archer series has much less action actually on and around the carousel than the first two. Kate and Borgan continue to develop their romantic relationship (though nothing nearly as graphic as some of the romances I’ve been reading lately), but things are happening around Archer’s Beach. For one thing, the company that owns the land the amusement park is located on has decided to sell the land to a condo developer, which if it goes through will mean the individual operators of the rides and other features of the park will have to relocate, and nobody knows where. Then a somewhat mysterious woman (who can live under water) turns up in the ocean off Archer’s Beach—the one that Borgan is Guardian of—and sets her cap at him. (We get her POV periodically, though in third person.) And then the master of the hounds for her maternal grandfather (I think—the other grandfather besides Ignat’) turns up and needs her to take his oath of fealty or a geas her grandfather had put on him will kill him rather shortly. I like the characters in this series and enjoy the stories—not mind-blowing stuff, but good enjoyable story-telling.
