About this listen

From the Sunday Times bestselling historical fantasy author of THE SHADOW IN THE GLASS comes a tour-de-force of faerie bargains, perfect for fans of THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LA RUE, MEXICAN GOTHIC, and TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY

A dance with the fae will change everything

1919. In a Highland village forgotten by the world, the young people who remain after war and flu will soon head south to make something of themselves.

Moira Jean and her friends venture to the forest for a last night
of laughter before parting ways. Moira Jean is being left behind. She too planned to leave once – but her lover died in France and, with him, her future. The friends light a fire and dance. But, with every twirl about the flames, strange new dancers thread between them, music streaming from the trees.

The Fae have joined the dance.

Suddenly Moira Jean finds herself all alone, her friends spirited away.

For the Fae feel left behind and forgotten too. Led by the darkly handsome Lord of the Fae, they are out to make themselves known once more. Moira Jean must enter into a bargain with the Lord to save her friends – and fast, for the longer they spend with the Fae, the less like themselves they will be upon return. If Moira Jean cannot save her friends before Beltane, they will be lost forever…

Bewitching, threaded with Highland charm, and sparkling with romance, this fairy tale will carry you away.

a good read if you like dark fae stories

I really wanted to love this one but sadly it wasn't for me. It started off well and I enjoyed how the plot was going but along the way it fell flat and just dragged until the end when it picked back up again. I enjoyed the description of the fae and how they were portrayed. I like Moira Jean (even though the constant use of her full name annoyed me by the end) she was strong and ballsy. She really stuck up for herself and took no prisoners if someone got in her way. i enjoyed the narration it added to the dark mysterious feel of the story. I'm gutted I didn't like this more but I know others will love it sadly it just wasnt for me.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
