Part of A Court of Thorns and Roses
First published 2020
Feyre is nineteen, hunting in the woods to keep her family alive, when she kills a wolf and everything falls apart. A massive, terrifying creature shows up at her door and takes her away as payment for the kill. She lands in Prythian, a faerie realm she only knew from old stories, and the creature holding her there turns out to be Tamlin, a faerie lord who wears a beast's shape but is not always one. Feyre hates him at first. Then she doesn't. While she figures out what she actually feels, something older and darker is spreading through the faerie lands, warping the world around Tamlin's estate. Feyre is not a faerie, not a warrior, not anyone special by the rules of this world. But she may be the only one positioned to stop what is coming. If she fails, Tamlin and everything he rules will be lost. The story moves between forbidden attraction and real danger, and neither one lets up.
