I am over the moon to share the stunning, festive cover of THE KISS OF THE SEASON! 💫 With old secrets, moorland mists and a gothic undertone, the artwork perfectly captures the ‘lost love’ vibe of Thomas & Arabella at the Knightswood Twelfth Night Ball…

I picked up a proof of Owl King by @bexhogan.bsky.social at the @zephyrbooks.bsky.social stand at #YLGConference & it prompted me to go back in my tbr pile to find Nettle. I'm so glad I did because it is a wonderful story (beautiful covers by Laura El). Classic faerytale elements woven beautifully.

Cover. Nettle is written down the middle of the page, white writing with glossy red decoration. Scene is a moonlit forest (dark red moon) with small sprites hovering & a girl with fabric made of bright green nettles looking away towards a dark palace. A second moon (this white) is in the sky behind the palace

A wild misfit in the human world, Nettle is enthralled by the glamour of the faery realm, with its two moons and scarlet stars.
She grows close to Conor, a human stolen centuries before, and she also falls under the spell of mysterious Ellion, a shadow faery.
To try to help her beloved grandmother who is fading in her world, Nettle makes a pact with the faery king. He'll heal her grandmother in exchange for Nettle completing three tasks. She agrees, not realising that deception lurks in this enchanted place, and that she has been tricked.

Aww, thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. And aren't the covers by Laura just dreamy?! Really hope you love Owl King! 🥰
