Description
An instant USA Today bestseller, this enchanting fantasy blends historical fiction, romance, and folklore into an unforgettable tale of magic, mystery, and second chances.
Long ago, the Faeries vanished without warning, disappearing from the world as mysteriously as they had once appeared. More than a century later, most people believe they are nothing more than legends. Only the most hopeful—or the most stubborn—still believe they might one day return.
Welcome to Thistlemarsh, a forgotten country estate where ancient magic refuses to die and destiny brings together an orphaned young woman and a mysterious Faerie in a story of love, sacrifice, revenge, and redemption.
In the aftermath of the First World War, Mouse Dunne has abandoned the dreams of her childhood. She once imagined dedicating her life to studying the elusive Faeries, but the devastation of war changed everything. Her cousin was lost forever on the battlefields of the Somme, and her brother returned home carrying the invisible wounds of combat. Faced with heartbreak and responsibility, Mouse put aside fantasy in favor of survival.
Everything changes when she unexpectedly inherits Thistlemarsh Hall, an aging manor deep in the English countryside with a long-forgotten connection to the Fae. Returning to the home she left behind, Mouse hopes the inheritance will provide the means to care for her brother and rebuild their future.
But the inheritance comes with an impossible condition.
Unless she can restore the crumbling estate within a single month, she will lose both the manor and the chance to secure the life she desperately wants for her family.
As the deadline approaches, Mouse realizes that saving Thistlemarsh is beyond ordinary means. Then a mysterious Faerie appears with an irresistible offer: he can restore the estate’s fading magic and grandeur—but every bargain with the Fae comes at a price.
Though she knows better than to trust a creature as charming as he is enigmatic, Mouse has little choice. As hidden enchantments awaken and long-buried secrets emerge from the halls of Thistlemarsh, she finds herself drawn into a world where old magic still lingers, forgotten promises carry lasting consequences, and the line between truth and legend begins to disappear.
Rich with atmospheric storytelling, unforgettable characters, slow-burning romance, and timeless folklore, this captivating novel is a magical journey through grief, hope, and the courage to believe in impossible things once more.
