Garden of Ink and Ancient Stone (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781915151322)

Ink is her gift. Faerie is her curse. Love will be her undoing.

Ysadora is the daughter of a calligrapher in a world where writing has become a lost art. Her elderly father shuns his coveted skill, but she doesn't ask him why. After her mother's disappearance, they shy away from conflict. Each day, they tend to their bookshop. Each night, after her father retires to bed, Ysadora reads from a forbidden shelf in the cellar.

When her father vanishes during an eerie storm, Ysadora finds spilled crimson ink on the icy ground and a message written in what could only be his hand. A message that tells her to stay away from the dark forest. A message that tells her to run.

Alone and distraught, Ysadora tracks her way into the forest, towards a bewitching land she thought existed only in stories. In the faerie realm, calligraphy skills are not only highly prized but dangerous. Ysadora meets Zephyr, whose cruel allure proves more perilous than any fae magic. If she is to save her father, she might very well lose her heart.

Garden of Ink and Ancient Stone is the first novel in the romantasy series Ink of the Fae. If you are a fan of wild worlds, deadly secrets, strong heroines and the swoon-worthy heroes who love them, this book is for you.
