The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door
The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door | H G Parry
3 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
From the author of The Magician's Daughter comes The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door, a mythic, magical tale full of secret scholarship, faerie curses, and the deadliest spells of all--the ones that friends cast on each other. All they needed to break the world was a door, and someone to open it. 1921. Years after a rogue faerie broke free on the battlefields of WWI, killing hundreds and threatening to expose the magical world, the study of faerie magic is forbidden and the doors to faerie country are sealed. But for those who survived, their wounds cannot be fixed by bandages and bedrest. A magical curse requires a magical solution. Clover is determined to find a way to save her brother, Matthew--one of the few survivors of the faerie attack. At Camford, England's premier magical academy, she's nobody, just a scholarship witch with no lineage and no connections. But when she catches the eye of golden boy Alden Lennox-Fontaine and his friends, doors that had been previously closed to her are flung open, and she finds herself enmeshed in the glittering and seductive world of the country's magical aristocrats. The summer she spends in Alden's orbit leaves a fateful mark: months of joyous friendship and mutual study come crashing down when experiments go awry, and old secrets are unearthed. Years later, when the faerie seals break again, Clover knows it's because of what they did. And she knows that she must seek the help of people she once called friends--and now doesn't quite know what to call--if there's any hope of saving the world as they know it.

My November #aardvarkbookclub picks. Both authors were introduced to me by Aardvark and I've been excited to read their next books. Glad I could get them through Aardvark again.

The doors to faerie country have been closed since a catastrophic attack @ the end of the Great War. Cover Hill just wants to break the faerie curse on her brother. What she discovers will uproot everything she knows about magic.

I love Parry‘s work so much. Such strong, compelling character work even when I dislike a character, breathtaking word building. Slow start, but so engaging in learning along with Clover I didn‘t mind too much.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
