Fairies are not all tutus and glittery wings! In this YA title, Nettle finds herself entering the mysterious land of the faeries where its inhabitants have silver-ringed irises and glistening skin.

“Inspired by faery myth and folklore, the haunting, heart wrenching tale of a girl called Nettle in a dark, foreboding faery kingdom.

A wild misfit in the human world, Nettle is enthralled by the glamour of the faery realm, with its two moons and scarlet stars. She grows close to Conor, a human stolen centuries before, and she also falls under the spell of mysterious Ellion, a Shadow Faery. To try to help her beloved grandmother who is fading in her world, Nettle makes a pact with the faery king. He’ll heal her grandmother in exchange for Nettle completing three tasks. She agrees, not realising that deception lurks in this enchanted place, and that she has been tricked.

In this dangerous fantasy kingdom Nettle discovers, too late, her part in an age-old love story and the price she will pay.”

I loved Nettle’s bold, brave character – driven on by her fervent wish to make her ‘grandma’ well and see her again. Her knowledge of fae law stands her in good stead as she strives to complete the three cunning challenges the fae king set for her to complete if she wishes to make it home again. Nothing is ever as it seems in the land of the fae.

This dark and twisty tale is definitely one for readers aged 12 and up who enjoy a compelling adventure where nothing is as it seems…
