Über diesen Titel
Three generations of witches face down a faerie king with a heart of stone in this standalone fantasy adventure where Labyrinth meets Studio Ghibli–perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, Naomi Novik, and Heather Fawcett.
Crown of iron upon your head
Or else the Fae will kill you dead
Many years ago, Ria tricked the King of Faerie and made an impossible bargain to save her sister’s life. But when it came time to make their trade, the King failed to show, let alone uphold his end of the deal. Ria returned home and began raising her daughter to learn the ways of witchcraft—and to always wear iron to protect herself in the forest where the boundaries between the mortal world and Faerie are thin.
But now, the King has finally come to collect what he is owed: Ria’s firstborn child.
When she first took the fae king’s bargain, Ria was a terrified young girl, desperate to rescue her sister. Now she’s older, wiser, and scariest of all: a mother who’s been separated from her daughter.
And she’ll do anything to get her back.

PRAISE FOR KILL THE BEAST
"Full of revenge, monsters, and found family, Kill the Beast is riveting and thrilling!"—Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop
"Swift’s novel falls in the twilight between melancholy and adventure, punctuated with brutality, occasional gore, and shocking moments of joy. An excellent recommendation for all fantasy readers."—Library Journal (starred review)

"This cheerful, brawling adventure has everything you could want: bloody revenge, exquisite tailoring, and a very good dog."—Davinia Evans, author of Notorious Sorcerer
"A glorious adventure, filled with heart and heroics, friendship and redemption, monsters and hope. I love Lyssa and Alderic, and I loved this book."—H.G. Parry, author of A Far Better Thing
