Since childhood, she's been haunted by visions of the Fairy King. She's found solace only in the pages of Angharad--author Emrys Myrddin's beloved epic about a mortal girl who falls in love with the Fairy King and then destroys him. Effy's tattered, dog-eared copy is all that's keeping her afloat at Llyr's prestigious architecture college. So when Myrddin's family announces a contest to redesign the late author's estate, Effy feels certain this is her destiny. But Hiraeth Manor is an impossible task: a musty, decrepit house on the brink of crumbling into a hungry sea. And when Effy arrives, someone else has already made a temporary home there. Preston Héloury, a stodgy young literature scholar, is studying Myrddin's papers and is determined to prove her favorite author is a fraud. As the two rivals piece together clues about the reclusive author's legacy, dark forces, both mortal and magical, conspire against them--and the truth may bring them both to ruin."-- From publisher's description. 14-17. 20250117.
