Once upon a time... A plague sweeps across the emerald hills of Uí Néill, leaving a young midwife's father with months to live. To save her people, Sorcha makes a deal with a dangerous Fae. She must travel across the sea, through merrow and kelpie lands, to find a forgotten king on a crumbling throne. Born king of the Seelie Fae, Eamonn fought battles unnumbered to uphold honor, duty, and freedom... until his twin brother sank a blade between his shoulders. Crystals grew from the wound, splitting open skin and bone. His people banished him to a cursed isle for his disfigurement, now king of criminals and fools. With the help of brownies, pixies, and will-o'-the-wisps, Sorcha battles to break through his crystalline shell and persuade him to take back his stolen throne. This determined beauty could come dangerously close to stealing his beastly heart.

"There not much to say about this one. I felt the story lacking. Though it had plenty of interesting creatures from Irish mythology. Some of them even had names but all the characters felt like an outline with no substance. No character development, not that there were many to do so. Barely a hint of world building.<br/><br/>Sorcha had a very agreeable disposition. Always sweet and helping even lesser fae. Boasted when it was true, shrugged off compliments because she was in fact a healer and that was that. Sorcha's first priority was to save others with a no nonsense attitude. I liked her sass most of all and can see why the immortal creatures found her interesting when they could wipe her away with half a thought.<br/><br/>The story was, itself, unique. A fae with a geode riddled body in love with a sassy healer. But the plot never progressed. Eamonn seemed like a decent fae male but you don't get to know him well. The characters besides Sorcha were not relatable. And the relationship sprang from nowhere with not bases which did not feel genuine. Even the dialog became repeative after awhile. Though I did enjoy Siobhan Waring's beautiful narration with the lack of intrigue I'm not compelled to continue with the seires."

"A wonderful addition to the "beauty and the beast" trope in romance novels. "

"It’s a decent retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Some bits steered a bit too close, though. Like wearing a yellow dress. I like retellings, but not when they toss me out of world they’ve created and into the Disney cartoon."
