‘Mary E. Pearson is the new queen of faerie‘ – Stephanie Garber, bestselling author of Once Upon a Broken Heart
Unlock a world of dangerous fae, dark secrets and addictive romance . . .
After losing both their parents, Bristol Keats and her sisters struggle to stay afloat in their small, quiet town of Bowskeep. When Bristol begins to receive letters from an 'aunt' she has never heard of, who promises to help, Bristol reluctantly agrees to meet her – and discovers that everything she thought she knew about her family is a lie.
Her father might even still be alive. Not killed but kidnapped by terrifying creatures and taken to another realm – the one he is from. Desperate to save her father and find the truth, Bristol journeys to a land of gods, fae and monsters.
Pulled into a dangerous world of magic and intrigue, Bristol makes a deadly bargain with the fae king, Tyghan. But what she does not know is that he is the one who drove her parents to live a life on the run. And he is just as determined as she is to find her father – dead or alive . . .
A heart-wrenching love story that spans worlds and decades, The Courting of Bristol Keats explores second chances – the ones we are denied and the ones we refuse to give – and the lines we cross that may never be forgiven.
From the Sunday Times bestselling author Mary E. Pearson, this is the first book in her debut adult fantasy series. The series continues with The Last Wish of Bristol Keats.
