In this prequel to the internationally bestselling Wicked Lovely series, the Faery Courts collide a century before the mortals in Wicked Lovely are born.
Thelma Foy, a jeweler with the Second Sight in iron-bedecked 1890s New Orleans, wasn't expecting to be caught in a faery conflict. Tam can see through the glamours faeries wear to hide themselves from mortals, but if her secret were revealed, the fey would steal her eyes, her life, or her freedom. So, Tam doesn't respond when they trail thorn-crusted fingertips through her hair at the French Market or when the Dark King sings along with her in the bayou.
But when the Dark King, Irial, rescues her, Tam must confront everything she thought she knew about faeries, men, and love.
Too soon, New Orleans is filling with faeries who are looking for her, and Irial is the only one who can keep her safe.
Unbeknownst to Tam, she is the prize in a centuries-old fight between Summer Court and Winter Court. To protect her, Irial must risk a war he can't win—or surrender the first mortal woman he's loved.

In this prequel to the Wicked Lovely Novel series, narrators Kristin James and Tim Paige--both gifted with rich, easily distinguishable voices--immerse the listener in the elegant, fascinating, deadly, and intriguing world of the Summer and Winter Faery Courts. Lovely jeweler Thelma Foy, who has the second sight and can see faeries, catches the eye of the Dark King himself. Unbeknownst to Thelma, she is the key to ending the battle between the two courts. James has a lilting, lush, and whispery voice that perfectly captures Thelma. Paige has an affected mien that is equally perfect for the gorgeous and hedonistic king. This listen is wicked--wickedly enjoyable. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine -

Set against the lush backdrop of 1890s New Orleans, Marr’s spellbinding prequel to the Wicked Lovely urban fantasy series invites readers back into the world of the fae. Human jeweler Thelma “Tam” Foy hides the fact that she can see the invisible world of the fae to keep herself safe from retribution. But when Tam first encounters the Dark King Irial, the faery ruler frightens and intrigues her in equal measure—and the two fall for one another rather quickly. But unbeknownst to Tam, she is the key to ending a curse on the fae Summer King, placing her at the center of an age old conflict between the Summer and Winter Courts. Irial is determined to protect her from the other faery monarchs, but his former lover and would-be successor, Niall, is just as dead set on turning her over to the Summer King. The resulting conflict delivers all the magic, intrigue, and romance that Marr’s fans expect. Readers will be pleased.
