But years pass unheeded in his realm, and she escapes to find everyone she loved long dead. Cursed to wield his blade, she becomes Lord of the Hunt. And for centuries, she rides, leading her immortal warriors and reaping wanderers souls. Until the night she meets a woman on a bloody battlefielda Saxon queen with ice-blue eyes.

Did I once again spend an outrageous amount of money on a signed UK edition of the second Lucy Holland book?

Yes.

Am I going to do it again with whatever book comes next in this saga?

Abso-forking-lutely.

Wessex, & its king & queen, are beset on all sides, betrayal from within, enemies at their border, & a fae threat believed to only be a story. & Samhain approaches.

This retelling of The Wild Hunt lived up to all my expectations! The characters are all so vivid! This whole story has a gorgeous weight to it. & the pacing! As the tension ramped up, I could literally feel my blood pounding in my ears as the climax of the story approached. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕

Lucy Holland plus a retelling of the Wild Hunt? I am so excited.

Sistersong was such a fantastic book, and I just know this one is going to be equally good. 💖

I‘d be embarrassed about the sound I just made and the happy dance I just did. But honestly I‘m too happy. #NetGalley #ARC

I just made a noise only dogs could hear.

Listen, was Sistersong one of my absolute favorite reads of the last ten years? Yes.

Would I expire on the spot if I got this ARC? Also yes.

Have I already preordered it, regardless? I think you all can guess the answer to that.
