"Lewis is a bold new voice in fantasy. No one writes morally grey quite like she does..." - Chris Riches, The Daily Express
From the author of 'Ferrishyn'...
A kiss is never just a kiss...
Mise Erskin is charged with being a changeling and exiled from her village in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where the forest and the faeries have returned.
A wandering heroine, she finds her destiny in the weird woods on a quest to reunite with Poem, her best friend and only companion in the dangerous and tricksy world of Faerie. Mise's pony has been taken by the cruel and beautiful seelie High Lord, Hellequin, and she will go to any length, make any deal, slay any beast to save her.
Set in a dystopian future, where humans scrape out a pitiful living on the edge of the dangerous Faerie lands, Mise must rely on her wits and the help of a mysterious fox-tailed Fae, known only as Nameless, to retrieve the head of the fearsome monster Nuckelavee and trade it with Hellequin for her pony's freedom.
'Gan Dídean' is a magical romantic adventure, filled with morally grey characters and the shady denizens of British folklore. Each chapter can be read as a standalone folktale and is inspired by the author's studies in medieval manuscripts and demonology.
This novella is an ode to forgotten tales and half-remembered rhymes, with all the charm of a traditional fairytale romance.
