Synopsis

How far would you go to escape fate?

In this prequel to the internationally bestselling Wicked Lovely series, the Faery Courts collide a century before the mortals in Wicked Lovely are born.

Thelma Foy, a jeweler with the Second Sight in iron-bedecked 1890s New Orleans, wasn't expecting to be caught in a faery conflict. Tam can see through the glamours faeries wear to hide themselves from mortals, but if her secret were revealed, the fey would steal her eyes, her life, or her freedom. So, Tam doesn't respond when they trail thorn-crusted fingertips through her hair at the French Market or when the Dark King sings along with her in the bayou.

But when the Dark King, Irial, rescues her, Tam must confront everything she thought she knew about faeries, men, and love.

Too soon, New Orleans is filling with faeries who are looking for her, and Irial is the only one who can keep her safe.

Unbeknownst to Tam, she is the prize in a centuries-old fight between Summer Court and Winter Court. To protect her, Irial must risk a war he can't win—or surrender the first mortal woman he's loved.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Melissa Marr quite frankly spearheaded the Faerie craze we are seeing today. She was one of the first authors in YA to write a series that involves Fey courts and folklore, and she was definitely ahead of her time. This prequel is exac......more

Goodreads review by Just

The prequel takes us back to the world of Wicked Lovely, focussing on Irial, the king of the Dark Court. Thelma is trying to be an independent artist but that's hard in a man's world in historic New Orleans. It's even harder having the Sight and seeing the magical, beautiful but cruel fairy creatures......more

I liked a lot about this story, it contained many of the classic tropes of a fairie romance. Marr is one of the original writers who incorporated fae into YA and it was so nice to revisit her world. I still remember reading Wicked Lovely for the first time and being unable to put it down! However, t......more
