Book description
An enthralling collection of short stories featuring favourite
characters from Melissa Marr's bestselling WICKED LOVELY series.
Dangerous promises and beguiling threats swirl together in a dozen
stories of enchantments, dark and light, by New York Times bestselling
author Melissa Marr. Uncanny and unexpected creatures appear from behind
bushes, rise from under the seas, or manifest from seasonal storms to
pursue the objects of their attention - with amorous or sinister intent
- relentlessly. From the gentle tones of a storyteller's cadences to the
terror of a blood sacrifice, tales of favourite characters from Marr's
Wicked Lovely novels mix with accounts of new characters for readers to
fall in love with . . . or to fear. Lush, seductive, and chilling,
Melissa Marr's stories revel in the unseen magic that infuses the world
as we know it. Praise for 'Wicked Lovely':
“Marr offers readers a fully imagined faery world that runs alongside an
everyday world, which even non-fantasy (or faerie) lovers will want to
delve into.” Publisher's Weekly
“The fantasy of being pursued by two young men is alluring in itself,
but when one is a pierced and tattooed sexy outsider and the other is a
blindingly beautiful King of Faery, how much better can it get? Readers
will beg for a sequel.” Washington Post
"This is a magical novel… the first book in a trilogy that will
guarantee to have you itching for the next instalment. * * * *"
