When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world.

At least, he's not a beast all the time.

As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin-and his world-forever.

Editorial Reviews

Nineteen-year-old Feyre is a huntress, fierce and protective of her poverty-stricken family that lives in the shadow of an enchanted forest. Fans of the “Hunger Games” series will easily parallel her to Katniss, but Feyre has her own individual spirit. Her story more closely mirrors a twisted telling of Beauty and the Beast than a dystopian future. Like Belle, Feyre is taken from her family in payment of a debt, and she is exiled to live with Faeries, powerful beings that suffer under a curse as well. Feyre must find a way to save Tamlin, her immortal faerie captor whom she has developed strong feelings for, from the dangers that loom over them. The intense conclusion drives far beyond the usual fairy tale ending. Building from a slow start into an enthralling finish, Feyre’s story is one that readers will not want to end. Maas’s incredibly compelling work will appeal to older teens and adults. If you are not already a huge fan of Maas’s, this first book in a new series will make you a convert, ready to devour any and all of her works. Reviewer: Laura Ruttig; Ages 12 up.
