Ashley Poston, acclaimed author of Heart of Iron, returns with a dark, lush fairy tale–inspired fantasy for fans of Sara Raasch and Susan Dennard. Cerys is safe in the Kingdom of Aloriya. Here there are no droughts, disease, or famine, and peace is everlasting. It has been this way for hundreds of years, since the first king made a bargain with the Lady who ruled the forest that borders the kingdom. But as Aloriya prospered, the woods grew dark, cursed, and forbidden. Cerys knows this all too well- When she was young, she barely escaped as the woods killed her friends and her mother. Now Cerys carries a small bit of the curse—the magic—in her blood, a reminder of the day she lost everything. As a new queen is crowned, however, things long hidden in the woods descend on the kingdom itself. Cerys is forced on the run, her only companions a small and irritating fox from the royal garden and the magic in her veins. It's up to her to find the legendary Lady of the Wilds and beg for a way to save her home.But the road is darker and more dangerous than she knows, and as secrets from the past are uncovered amid the teeth and roots of the forest, it's going to take everything she has just to survive.

Wanted to love this book

I want to give this book more stars because the premise sounded really good, but after listening to the book, I just didn't connect with it as much as I hoped. There are definietly great classic fairytale qualities, but overall the book just felt a little young for me.

An enchanting fairytale!

“How could they know what they could be if no one told them what they couldn’t?” This book sucked me in from page one. A wonderful fairy tale with adventure, mystery, and humor. When it first shifted away from Cerys to the POV of Fox, I knew I would love this book. Fox is hilarious as well as tender. The love story is sweet and well-paced, and doesn’t dominate the fairly tale—it’s a part of the bigger story. There was also subtle LGBTQ representation in this book that was well done. It wasn’t present in the main storyline/characters but a few people were highlighted, simply living their truth, their open love celebrated by the masses in this world.
