About the book

The gateway drug for half the romantasy readers you know. Feyre kills a wolf in the woods to feed her family, and a fae lord comes to collect the debt by dragging her across the wall to his cursed court. A Beauty and the Beast retelling with medium spice that gets far better in book two, so don't stop here.
