She`s found solace only in the pages of Angharad--author Emrys Myrddin`s beloved epic about a mortal girl who falls in love with the Fairy King and then destroys him. Effy`s tattered, dog-eared copy is all that`s keeping her afloat at Llyr`s prestigious architecture college. So when Myrddin`s family announces a contest to redesign the late author`s estate, Effy feels certain this is her destiny. But Hiraeth Manor is an impossible task: a musty, decrepit house on the brink of crumbling into a hungry sea. And when Effy arrives, someone else has already made a temporary home there. Preston Héloury, a stodgy young literature scholar, is studying Myrddin`s papers and is determined to prove her favorite author is a fraud. As the two rivals piece together clues about the reclusive author`s legacy, dark forces, both mortal and magical, conspire against them--and the truth may bring them both to ruin. Part historical fantasy, part rivals-to-lovers romance, part Gothic mystery, and all haunting, dreamlike atmosphere, Ava Reid`s powerful YA debut is also an unflinching indictment of institutions that sacrifice young girls on the altar of men`s "genius" and a gripping read that will stay with you long after its final page.
