About this ebook

'Dark and dangerous and teeming with romance, A Feather So Black is an exhilarating adventure that walks the edge of a blade. Truly enchanting' Rachel Gillig, NYT bestselling author of One Dark Window

***THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER***

The Cruel Prince
meets For the Wolf in a sizzling fantasy romance set in a world of perilous magic and moonlit forests, spinning a seductive tale of a changeling princess, her cursed sister, and the dangerous fae lord she must defeat to save her family.

In a kingdom where magic has been lost, Fia is a rare changeling, left behind by the wicked Fair Folk when they stole the High Queen's daughter Eala and locked the gates to the Otherworld.

When a hidden gate to the Otherworld is discovered, Fia is tasked by the High Queen to retrieve Eala and break her curse. But she doesn't go alone: with her is prince Rogan, Eala's betrothed and Fia's childhood best friend.

As the two journey into a world where magic winds through the roots of the trees and beauty can be a deadly illusion, Fia's mission is complicated by her feelings for the prince. . . and her unexpected attraction to the dark-hearted fae lord holding Eala captive. Irian might be more monster than man, but he seems to understand Fia in a way no one ever has.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "For anyone who has ever doubted if they were the main character in their own story. You are." Right from that dedication I fell in love with this book. The writing was enchanting and weaved a beautiful story. This book has: ✅️ Friends and enemies to lovers ✅️ A love triangle ✅️ Celtic Mythology ✅️ A dark and brooding morally grey man ✅️ Great character development ✅️ A little bit of spice The story is told from the point of view of Fia a changling left in the human realm by the fae who stole the queens daughter. The Queen raises her whilst also training her as a weapon through many forms of abuse disguised as training. From the start I felt a strong distaste for the Queen, she was saying things such as “Only I know how to love someone like you, and no one will ever love you more than I do.” which to a girl who wants nothing more than to be loved may seem affectionate and not seen as the manipulation it is. The Queen sends Fia and her childhood friend Rogan, who she is in love with on a mission to save the princess, who is also Rogan's betrothed, from the folk realm. While they venture into the folk realm to make a plan of action on how to save the princess we also meet Irian and dark and mysterious gentry. As the story progresses it turns into a bit of a love triangle alongside the story, I'm not normally a fan of love triangles but this one was well written and you could feel how confusing it was for Fia trying to navigate her feelings for both men. The ending I could see part of it coming but was not expecting as many twists and shocks as we were given, I cannot wait to read the next book to see where the story goes next.
