“But that was the problem with the old me, I was coming to realize. Initially I was a bit skeptical, because there are so many mixed Reviews, but now I’m glad that I read this (*whispers* It’s still free on Rivetedlit until April 1st) and need to get my own copy soon! This has become one of my favorite reads of the year! As you can see this book was exactly what I love in books and really worked for me. I fell so deeply in love with the story and characters that I want to see them again, because I’m greedy. Yes hello where is my sequel? I’m normally all here for more standalone books, but then there’s this book and I love it so much that I want more – help me.
“Why do we desire, above all other things, that which has the greatest power to destroy us?” Because secretly, her Craft represents a threat the fair folk have never faced in all the millennia of their unchanging lives: for the first time, her portraits have the power to make them feel. Now both of their lives are forfeit, unless Isobel can use her skill as an artist to fight the fairy courts. Their alliance blossoms into trust, then love-and that love violates the fair folks’ ruthless laws. Waylaid by the Wild Hunt’s ghostly hounds, the tainted influence of the Alder King, and hideous monsters risen from barrow mounds, Isobel and Rook depend on one another for survival. She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes-a weakness that could cost him his life.įurious and devastated, Rook spirits her away to the autumnlands to stand trial for her crime. But when she receives her first royal patron-Rook, the autumn prince-she makes a terrible mistake. They crave human Craft with a terrible thirst, and Isobel’s paintings are highly prized.
Isobel is a prodigy portrait artist with a dangerous set of clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal creatures who cannot bake bread, weave cloth, or put a pen to paper without crumbling to dust.
