'Extraordinary!' – Rebecca Yarros, New York Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing.

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 . . .

From bestselling author K. A. Linde, The Wren in the Holly Library is the start of an addictive dark romantasy series, perfect for fans of V. E. Schwab and Leigh Bardugo. Loosely inspired by Beauty and the Beast and set in an alternate day New York, where monsters live among humankind and ancient secrets threaten to destroy everything . . .

Tropes include . . .

- Forced proximity - Enemies to lovers - Now you work for me - Celtic mythology - Heists - And they were roommates - Touch her and die - Tortured hero

Discover the next book in the series, The Robin on the Oak Throne.
