When Freya reluctantly spends her summer at her grandmother’s rural home, she meets Rhianne, a fae princess tasked with earning her wings and saving her realm. Drawn into a world of wonder and danger, the two girls must work together to face a powerful enemy and restore balance to the fae world.
Marriott crafts a vivid, enchanting setting and a fast-paced plot filled with heart and adventure. Themes of bravery, loyalty, and self-discovery run throughout, making this an engaging read for younger fantasy fans and anyone who enjoys tales of unlikely heroes and magical worlds.

'I really enjoyed this book . There are multiple fae races with interesting different realms and background, with a colour based magic system which was interesting. I enjoyed watching Rhianne earn her wings and it felt high stakes as I wasn't sure she'd overcome all the threats. There was a bit of a love triangle and I was happy about how it turned out. You'd probably enjoy this book if you like Holly Jacksons's The Cruel Prince'

I’m not really much of a reader. I’m a slow reader and I also get bored quite easily, however there is something about this story that has me gripped. And I am loving my journey through Woodbury so far!

What an epic read, would highly recommend, couldn't put it down. Read this on holiday, a couple of hours a day emerging myself in the realms of the Faye and their foe. More twists and turns than a dwarven kingdom's tunnel network.

Really great read with nice digestible chapters. Great to get lost in the story.
