Young Adult Fantasy
A skilled painter must stand up to the ancient power of the
faerie courts—even as she falls in love with a faerie
prince—in this gorgeous debut novel. Isobel is a prodigy portrait artist with a dangerous set of
clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal creatures who
cannot bake bread, weave cloth, or put a pen to paper
without crumbling to dust. They crave human Craft with a
terrible thirst, and Isobel’s paintings are highly prized.
But when she receives her first royal patron—Rook, the
autumn prince—she makes a terrible mistake. She paints
mortal sorrow in his eyes—a weakness that could cost him his
life. Furious and devastated, Rook spirits her away to the
autumnlands to stand trial for her crime. Waylaid by the
Wild Hunt’s ghostly hounds, the tainted influence of the
Alder King, and hideous monsters risen from barrow mounds,
Isobel and Rook depend on one another for survival. Their
alliance blossoms into trust, then love—and that love
violates the fair folks’ ruthless laws. Now both of their
lives are forfeit, unless Isobel can use her skill as an
artist to fight the fairy courts. Because secretly, her
Craft represents a threat the fair folk have never faced in
all the millennia of their unchanging lives: for the first
time, her portraits have the power to make them feel.
