About this audiobook

A fae beast. A wild beauty. A curse that could doom them both. As town greenwitch, Aster's dedicated her life to defending her people from the nightmarish fae of the forest. Yet despite her best efforts, each year a girl is taken as a tithe by the Beast who rules the Folkwood. None ever return. And this year, the Beast claims Aster. Trapped in a cursed palace, taunted by mischievous, invisible servants, Aster despairs of ever making it home. Then the Beast offers her a bargain-if she can restore his rose garden and break the curse on his court, he will set her free. But healing the enchanted garden requires more than just growing flowers. It forces Aster to open her heart and face the shadows of her past to discover a power of her own . . . In doing so, she sees a softer side to the Beast's savage beauty and dark magic. As feelings blossom between the two of them, Aster faces an impossible choice: her people or her heart. Can Aster break the curse? Or will she doom the Beast-and her people-forever?

About the author

Helena Rookwood spends her time poring over old books about the Old Ways, when she imagines everything might have been just a little bit more magical, and greedily tearing through more recent books by other fantasy authors. Her books include the Carnival of Fae series and the River Witch series.

Elm Vince is a YA fantasy author who writes stories about magical worlds, fae, and fairy tales. When she's not hunched over her laptop writing, you'll find her road-tripping around Scotland, attempting yoga, and befriending other people's dogs and cats.

Lucy Brownhill is a British actress and voice artist currently based in Amsterdam. She graduated from Drama Studio London in 2016 and also trained in screen acting at the Bristol Old Vic theater school. She has narrated over forty audiobooks and loves to bring stories to life.
