A Court of Thorns and Roses

What the series is about?

When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world. At least, he's not a beast all the time. As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin-and his world-forever.


A Court of Thorns and Roses series is a series of books by Sarah J. Maas which retells multiple fairy tales including the Beauty and the Beast and Hades and Persephone with faerie lore.

The trilogy focuses on the tale of Feyre Archeron, as she is brought into the faerie lands of Prythian, after murdering a faerie.
