An irresistible dark fae romantasy debut, inspired by Welsh mythology and perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Faebound, Leigh Bardugo and Holly Black's The Cruel Prince
Ceridwen Parry has run away with the fairies.
But this is not her story.
For Sabrina Parry, the world is tough, cruel and practical. With her father in prison, her aims in life are: 1. hold onto her job, 2. hold her tongue and 3. set up her sister Ceridwen with a man rich enough to look after her.
Ceridwen is lovely, romantic, timid - everything that Sabrina isn't. But then Ceridwen vanishes into the eerie woods leaving only an iron ring behind and Sabrina is drawn into a beautiful but decaying world of fairies and monsters of old. And when an annoyingly handsome fairy prince offers her a dangerous deal, Sabrina is forced to put her own freedom at risk to save her sister.
This Welsh-inspired YA faerie adventure is fun, yet beautifully and poignantly-realised. Its setting and characters will appeal to fans of Holly Black and Sarah J Maas, but with subtle, deftly handled themes of class and colonisation that mark it as a unique entry into the teen fae romance field. I devoured this for a whimsical break from reality and was spellbound by its surprising emotional depths!
