About this deal

Who should look after me? Where should I be put? How could things be arranged so neither of them had to change their lives in any real way? See, this is what I'm talking about! This is an adventure in a fae world and fae people, not fae who are basically humans with magic and pointy ears! I turned my father’s words over like a newly acquired geological specimen, some shiny square of pyrite or rough wedge of schist, looking for the grain, the structure, the signs of its origin and nature. Heir of Bitter Thorn is Book 0 in The Fae of Bitter Thorn. Don’t miss the other books in this enchantingfantasy series! I looked at my delicate stitches, the rough texture of the tree bark and the velvety fungi. ‘I like it.’

It was less than a week now until the guests arrived, and all the bedrooms had been aired, fresh linens produced and flowers cut. The kitchens took in deliveries of beer and potatoes and flour and eggs and Riesling and vast wheels of cheese and sides of ham and even the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin sculpted from sugar. There was no safe refuge from the planning anywhere. In the mornings I went walking or put on my old skirts to work the apothecary garden outside the kitchens, tending lavender and sage and sorrel and mint while kitchen maids snipped great handfuls off with sharp scissors. When the weather was too bad, I kept to my room, reading and sorting through my geological collection. I borrowed polish and cloth from downstairs to work at each neglected piece of flint and basalt, limestone, dolomite and iron ore, taking the time to consider each in turn: the beauty in their harshness, the impossible compression of time into the palm of my hand. An infinite history that I could hold, and begin to understand.

While the truths Mina discovers are terrifying, love, longing and the realisation that “other people can be salvation” leads her to take a courageous path. Suspenseful, atmosphericand romantic, this is an utterly enchanting tale.
