DEEP IS THE FEN
Get lost in the newest YA fantasy from the author of A Hunger of Thorns, on a beguiling journey behind the closed doors of a sinister secret society. Featuring a steamy enemies-to-lovers romance and a fight for the witching world that will get your heart racing.
Merry doesn't need a happily-ever-after. Her life in the charming, idyllic town of Candlecott is perfect just the way it is, with her doting father and her best friend, Teddy, to keep her company. But it's her and Teddy's last summer together, and despite Merry's best efforts, change is creeping in.
Teddy has joined the Toadmen - a men's only society best known for their backwards thinking and odd traditions, though Merry is certain that the Toadmen are dabbling in magic. Dangerous, forbidden magic, the kind that spells curses. The kind that killed her mother.
Determined to save Teddy, Merry teams up with the person she hates most: her nemesis, Caraway Boswell, a snobby know-it-all who refuses to let anyone see his true self, and a fellow Toadman. Only Caraway needs Merry's help, too - though for what, he won't say.
All he will tell Merry is that the clock is ticking. An ancient Toad ritual is being held in the bogs of Deeping Fen, and if Merry doesn't get Teddy out before it's finished, he will be lost to her forever. But the Toadmen have been keeping secrets, and the further Merry travels into Deeping Fen's foul waters, the more she wonders if she's truly come to rescue him...or if she's walking straight into a trap.
DEEP IS THE FEN is a rich and enchanting YA fantasy that is bursting with magic and romance, and Lili's world is wholly unique: a place where ancient traditions intertwine with modern corporations.
