Owl King by Bex Hogan I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook of Nettle by Bex Hogan and so was delighted to be able to read the sequel, Owl King. We are back in the realm of faery and this time we get to learn more…

Happy publication day to @bexhogan.bsky.social's #OwlKing. It was a delight to return to the Faery Realms and learn more about the different courts. This is a lyrical, atmospheric tale with teeth. Out today, published by @zephyrbooks.bsky.social

Cover. Nettle is written down the middle of the page, white writing with glossy red decoration. Scene is a moonlit forest (dark red moon) with small sprites hovering & a girl with fabric made of bright green nettles looking away towards a dark palace. A second moon (this white) is in the sky behind the palace A wild misfit in the human world, Nettle is enthralled by the glamour of the faery realm, with its two moons and scarlet stars.
She grows close to Conor, a human stolen centuries before, and she also falls under the spell of mysterious Ellion, a shadow faery.
To try to help her beloved grandmother who is fading in her world, Nettle makes a pact with the faery king. He'll heal her grandmother in exchange for Nettle completing three tasks. She agrees, not realising that deception lurks in this enchanted place, and that she has been tricked.

I picked up a proof of Owl King by @bexhogan.bsky.social at the @zephyrbooks.bsky.social stand at #YLGConference & it prompted me to go back in my tbr pile to find Nettle. I'm so glad I did because it is a wonderful story (beautiful covers by Laura El). Classic faerytale elements woven beautifully.
