England, 1810. The north is governed by a single rule. Faerie will take as it pleases. William Loxley is cursed. A pale and monstrous creature haunts his dreams, luring him from London to the desolate, grey landscape of his forgotten childhood. There, it will use him to open a door to Faerie--a fate that will trap Loxley in that glittering, heathen otherworld forever. His only hope of escaping the creature's grasp lies with John Thorncress, a dark and windswept stranger met on the moors. The longer Loxley stays in Thorncress' company, the harder it becomes to fight his attraction to the man. Such attraction can only end in heartbreak--or the noose. But Thorncress has his own bleak ties to Faerie. They come creeping in with the frost, their howls carrying on the winter wind. If Thorncress' past catches up with him before they can break the curse, then Loxley will not only lose his soul. He'll lose Thorncress, too. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The book opens with William waking up in the middle of a faerie circle (a circle of mushrooms found randomly on moors or in forests, said to be a doorway into other worlds) and in the company of a dark stranger. The stranger, Thorncress, seems to know how William came to be there while William himself remembers nothing, and helps him backtrack his steps as well as try to fight whatever entity has seemingly taking over his dreams and, slowly, his mind. But William has more than one secret, such as his inclinations towards his own sex, and he begins to fall for Thorncress, while Thorncress has his own troubled past and dealings with Faerie but can't help opening his heart to the kind yet naive William.
This book is very dark and atmospheric, and has a very heartbreaking turn towards the end (but after ends a little more light-heartedly, though I'm not sure I'd say it's a HEA). It's definitely one I'd recommend to the MM fantasy reader. ( )
