Synopsis

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

A wild misfit in the human world, Nettle is enthralled by the glamor 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 realizing 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.

Nettle reads like an instant fairytale classic. I absolutely adored her character, she’s a misfit and has the most wholesome life. This is then turned upside down as we go into the land of fae, which is full of the usual trickery and interesting characters. The lore and myths are drawn from and expe......more

Thank you Tundra Books, Bex Hogan and Netgalley for providing me an eARC in exchange for my honest opinion. This book felt like reading a fairytale. As we accompany Nettle in her journey through the faerie realm, it was impossible not to visualize everything in a child-like way. I really like how she......more

3.5 Ortica è la quinta essenza di una fiaba della tradizione. Se tale fiaba fosse pensata per un target di adolescenti e mischiata con il romance.
