"Never eat faerie fruit, nor drink faerie wine.
Faeries of all kinds are weakened by iron and salt.
Fae cannot lie, but this has made them a master of words, so never strike a faerie bargain."

As her town greenwitch, Aster Wilden has spent her life using plantlore to keep her people safe from the wicked fae of the forest. But each year, the Beast who rules the Folkwood takes a girl as a tithe.

And this year, the Beast claims Aster.

Thrust into an enchanted mansion full of fae mischief, cruel servants, and dangerous magic, Aster's determined to do whatever it takes to escape. After all, she's practical, grounded, and the last person who would ever fall for her fae captor's savage beauty. Isn't she?

Then the Beast offers Aster a bargain: break the curse on his court, and he will set her free.

As Aster uncovers the secrets of the cursed court and its brooding master, she soon finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about the fae, the Beast -- and herself.

Time is running out to break the curse, leaving Aster faced with an impossible choice: save her people or her heart.
