´A love letter to stories - and to everyone silenced or forgotten in their retelling.´ Allison Saft, author of A Far Wilder Magic.

Effy has always believed in fairy tales. She´s had no choice. Since childhood, she´s been haunted by visions of the Fairy King. She´s found solace only in the pages of Angharad - a beloved epic about a mortal girl who falls in love with the Fairy King, and then destroys him.

Effy´s tattered copy is all that´s keeping her afloat through her stifling first term at her prestigious architecture college. So when the late author´s family announces a contest to design his house, Effy feels certain this is her destiny.

But Hiraeth Manor is an impossible task: a musty, decrepit estate on the brink of crumbling into a hungry sea. And when Effy arrives, she finds she isn´t the only one who´s made a temporary home there. Preston Héloury, a stodgy young literature scholar, is studying Myrddin´s papers and is determined to prove her favourite author is a fraud.

As the two rival students investigate the reclusive author´s legacy, piecing together clues through his letters, books, and diaries, they discover that the house´s foundation isn´t the only thing that can´t be trusted. There are dark forces, both mortal and magical, conspiring against them - and the truth may bring them both to ruin.
