Description
Inspired by faery myth and folklore, the haunting, heart wrenching tale of a girl called Nettle in a dark, foreboding faery kingdom.
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...
In this dangerous fantasy kingdom Nettle discovers, too late, her part in an age-old love story and the price she will pay.
Inspired by faery myth and folklore, the haunting, heart wrenching tale of a girl called Nettle in a dark, foreboding faery kingdom.

A heroine unlike any other and one that readers will love... this is a great read for 12+. -- Jacqui Sydney * World's Smallest Library *
Nettle is an intriguingly magical tale of faeries, power and identity. Readers are transported to a world of tricks and traps where a jealous king, changelings and shadow faeries prove anything is possible. * Scope for Imagination *
Hogan has never been one to shy away from darkness in her writing and Nettle is no exception... A wonderful slice of faery magic, tempting and duplicitious. * A Short Book Lover *
