Publisher Description
Discover the dark and seductive realm of faerie in the first book of New York Times bestseller Holly Black’s critically acclaimed Modern Faerie Tales series, where one girl must save herself from the sinister magic of the fey courts, and protect her heart in the process.
Sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she drifts from place to place with her mother’s rock band until an ominous attack forces them back to Kaye’s childhood home. But Kaye’s life takes another turn when she stumbles upon an injured faerie knight in the woods. Kaye has always been able to see faeries where others could not, and she chooses to save the strange young man instead of leaving him to die.
But this fateful choice will have more dire consequences than she could ever predict, as Kaye soon finds herself the unwilling pawn in an ancient and violent power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms—a struggle that could very well mean her death.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An edgy 16-year-old discovers that she is a changeling and that her one-time "imaginary" faerie playmates want her to pretend to be a human so they can earn their freedom for seven years. In a starred review, PW called this book "a gripping read." Ages 12-up.
Customer Reviews
Tithe - slow start, but picked up and flew
It took a bit to get started, but once you started getting to know the characters, you were deeply involved and needed to know more
Ehh…
I really wanted to like this one… But it just didn’t hold my attention like her other books.
Incredible!
Such an amazing story; I am hooked. I had only read “The Darkest Part of the Forest”by Holly Black prior to this, and it was one of my favourite reads. It was an adventure I desperately wish had a sequel. Can’t wait to start the next one in this trilogy.
