Description

Set in an alternate day New York filled with monsters, The Wren in the Holly Library is a dark, spicy urban fantasy loosely inspired by Beauty and the Beast – perfect for fans of V. E. Schwab and Leigh Bardugo.

She stole from a monster . . . now she must pay the price

Street thief Kierse should have known something wasn’t right. Now she’s trapped in a library – with a monster. She can’t run. She can’t hide. And this man – this being, filled with terrible power and darkness – is well within his rights to kill her.

By trespassing, Kierse has broken the fragile peace treaty between monsters and humans. But instead of killing her, Graves does the unexpected: he offers her a job. A chance to find out who she really is.

Kierse has always known she’s different. That she can do things a little better, a little faster. And there’s that sense she has when danger is only a breath away. But if the old tales are true, there are worse things in the world than monsters.

Like a threat more ancient than legend. Like Graves. Or like Kierse herself . . .

From bestselling author K. A. Linde comes the start of an addictive dark romantasy series where monsters live among humandkind, and ancient secrets threaten to destroy everything . . .
