    A Court of Thorns and Roses

    by Maas, Sarah J.

    Feyre is a huntress. She thinks nothing of slaughtering a wolf to feed her starving family. But, like all mortals, she fears the Fae—cruel, powerful beings who once ruled the world.

    When Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a magical land she only knows from legends, she discovers her captor is not an animal—but Tamlin, a powerful High Fae of the Spring Court.

    As Feyre dwells in his enchanted palace, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she’s been told about the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it… or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.

    A Court of Thorns and Roses is a seductive and action-packed retelling loosely inspired by Beauty and the Beast, weaving romance, danger, and magic into a richly imagined fantasy world.
