A Court of Thorns and
Roses is not one of those versions. I know. High praise.
The story follows Feyre, a young woman whose family has
fallen from prestige. Her sisters, Nesta and Elain, still behave like nobility
despite their crushing poverty, and their father has fallen into an apathetic daze.
So it’s on Feyre to provide for them with her honed hunting skills. Her life changes
when killing a wolf lands her at the mercy of a hairy and horned creature called
Tamlin. He demands that she repay the life she’s taken with her own.
Instead of death, as Feyre expects at the hands of what she realizes are
fairies, her punishment is to live the rest of her life in the Spring
Court, Tamlin’s domain, north of the Wall that separates humanity from the fae
realm Prythian. Feyre slowly learns not only that her High Fae captors are more than monsters, but a secret threatens both Fae and
humans, and only she can save them.
