In a captivating faery kingdom, a girl named Nettle must navigate love and deception while trying to save her grandmother, leading to unforeseen consequences.
Set in a dark and enchanting faery kingdom, Nettle follows the journey of a girl named Nettle, who feels out of place in the human world. Captivated by the allure of the faery realm, she longs to escape her mundane life. The kingdom, with its two moons and scarlet stars, offers a sense of wonder that Nettle cannot resist. As she navigates this magical land, she finds herself forming a bond with Conor, a human who has been trapped in this realm for centuries, as well as becoming entangled with the enigmatic Ellion, a Shadow Faery whose intentions are unclear.
In her quest to save her ailing grandmother, Nettle makes a fateful deal with the faery king. He promises to heal her grandmother if she can complete three seemingly simple tasks. However, as she embarks on this dangerous journey, Nettle soon realizes that the faery kingdom is rife with deception and that she has been ensnared in a web of trickery. The stakes are high, and the tasks may come at a cost she never anticipated.
As Nettle delves deeper into the mysteries of this realm, she uncovers her role in a timeless love story, one that intertwines her fate with the very fabric of the faery world. In Nettle, the line between love and sacrifice blurs, leading to a heart-wrenching conclusion that will leave readers pondering the true price of desire and loyalty.
