The Wren in the Holly Library

‘Extraordinary!’ Rebecca Yarros
She stole from a monster – now she must pay the price . . .
Street thief Kierse should have known something wasn’t right. Now she’s trapped in a library – with a monster. She can’t run. She can’t hide. And this man – this being, filled with terrible power and darkness – is well within his rights to kill her.

By trespassing, Kierse has broken the fragile peace treaty between monsters and humans. But instead of killing her, Graves does the unexpected: he offers her a job. A chance to find out who she really is.

Kierse has always known she’s different. That she can do things a little better, a little faster. And there’s that sense she has when danger is only a breath away. But if the old tales are true, there are worse things in the world than monsters.

Like a threat more ancient than legend. Like Graves. Or like Kierse herself . . .
