Never-Contented Things

"Sarah Porter is a genius. Her language is lush and dangerous, and her books burn with the beautiful, ferocious intensity of a bonfire in the darkest night."—Brittany Cavallaro, New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Charlotte From critically-acclaimed author Sarah Porter comes Never-Contented Things: a standalone surreal young adult fantasy of teenagers ensorcelled into a wicked bargain with otherworldly beings… Every moment of the night— Forever changing places— And they put out the star-light With the breath from their pale faces…

—Edgar Allan Poe, "Fairy-Land"

Bound by haunting tragedies, Ksenia Adderley and Joshua Korensky have shared a home as foster siblings since they were children. Despite their opposite personalities—Ksenia is prickly, mistrustful, Josh, flamboyant and outgoing—they are fiercely protective of one another. As teens, they've grown even closer. Some say unnaturally so.

With Ksenia's eighteenth birthday approaching, their guardians expect her to move out. They want to free Josh of his obsession with the foster-sister whom they regard as a strange, unhealthy influence. But they don't understand the depths of Josh's feelings for Ksenia and how desperate he is to ensure they stay together—forever.

The one called Prince understands all too well. Attracted by the intensity of Josh's desires and Ksenia's fears, he can grant them a home among his kind: beautiful creatures not of this earth. All they have to do is surrender their very humanity and succumb to the cruel whims of Prince and his fae courtiers… "A creepy new world like none I've seen before. Eerie, edgy and filled with mystery, Porter takes us to the depths of the magical and psychological."—Danielle Paige, New York Times bestselling author of Dorothy Must Die
