Nettle

Bloomsbury presents Nettle by Bex Hogan, read by Anna Burnett. Inspired by faery myth and folklore, the haunting, heart wrenching tale of a changeling 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 cruelty lurks beneath the beauty of this place, and that she has been tricked… In this wild, dangerous fantasy kingdom Nettle discovers, too late, her part in a centuries old love story and the price she will pay - remaining forever in the realm of immortals for those she loves.
