Heart of the Moors by Holly Black

WICKED AND WILD

“Once upon a time, there was a wicked faerie called Maleficent, named for both her malice and her magnificence. Her lips were the red of freshly spilled blood, her cheekbones as sharp as the pain of lost love. And her heart was as cold as the deepest part of the ocean.”
~ Prologue to Heart of the Moors

About the Book

From New York Times bestselling author Holly Black comes a captivating original novel set between Disney’s Maleficent and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, in which newly-queened Aurora struggles to be the best leader to both the humans and Fair Folk under her reign; her beau, Prince Phillip, longs to get to know Aurora and her kingdom better; and Maleficent has trouble letting go of the past. From the first sentences of Heart of the Moors, you are drawn in to the story.

This is a book you just might not put down until you’ve finished it. A middle-grade book, but if you are a fan of MG and YA books, this is one you won’t put down! I love reading them with my now teen so we can talk about the book. Filled with adventure, danger, and tensions amongst humans and faeries, Aurora has to keep her loved ones safe and keep her kingdom safe. A must-read and would make a great holiday gift!
