Lament

What happens when the only thing you desire is the one thing you can never have?

Sixteen-year-old Dee is a cloverhand – someone who can see faeries. So when she finds herself irresistibly drawn to beautiful, mysterious Luke, Dee knows that he wants something more dangerous than a summer romance. But what Dee doesn’t realise is that Luke is an assassin from the faerie world. And she is his next target… A haunting, romantic fantasy from Maggie Stiefvater, the New York Times bestselling author of Shiver and Linger.

Praise for Shiver:

“If you like Twilight, then you will love Shiver.Waterstone’s Books Quarterly

“Their quiet, intense relationship and the threat that hangs over it as temperatures drop… is all-consuming.” Sunday Telegraph

    Maggie Stiefvater

    Maggie Stiefvater’s life decisions have revolved around her inability to be gainfully employed. Talking to yourself, staring into space, and coming to work in your pyjamas are frowned upon when you’re a waitress, calligraphy instructor, or technical editor (all of which she’s tried), but are highly prized traits in novelists!
