A Court of Thorns and Roses

Book • 2015

In this novel, Feyre Archeron, a young huntress, kills a wolf that turns out to be an immortal faerie.

As punishment, she is taken to the faerie realm of Prythian by Tamlin, a High Lord of the Spring Court.

Initially hostile, Feyre's feelings for Tamlin transform into a fiery passion as she adapts to her new home.

However, an ancient, wicked shadow threatens the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it to save Tamlin and his world.

The book is a retelling inspired by fairy tales such as 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Tam Lin', and it combines elements of romance, adventure, and high fantasy.
