Summary
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Crimson Moth (published as Heartless Hunter in North America) weaves an epic love story of a magical girl, the boy she left behind, and a deadly curse.
'Lush, dark, and romantic. I could have remained lost in the woods forever' Isabel Ibañez, #1 New York Times bestselling author of What the River Knows
'A tale comprised of deep emotion, sizzling romance, and a gripping mystery’ Tricia Levenseller, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Shadows Between Us
Sing us a song of the forest, of the Wood King who rules there, and the tithe he demands…
No matter how far Emeline Lark runs, the song of the forest reaches her, luring her away from her dreams of the stage and back to her small town and its superstitions.
But every superstition is rooted in truth, and when her grandfather goes missing Emeline will be forced to return to Edgewood and the forest beyond.
There, even Hawthorne Fell, a brooding tithe collector, cannot dissuade her from her path – a path that will lead her into the court of the fabled Wood King himself – and into a bargain with the deadliest price.
'Darkly gorgeous and moving… full of curses and fae magic that will capture your heart and wrap it in thorns before setting you free again, forever changed' Evelyn Skye, New York Times bestselling author of The Crown's Game
Originally published in North America as Edgewood.

A Dark Forgetting was a refreshingly beautiful tale full of found family, sweet yearning and deep, unyielding love. The pacing felt a little off in the middle of the story but it all came around and was wrapped nearly in a perfect bow by the end. The world building was so good, the deep connection between characters was amazing.
Hawthorne was an incredible character—just a boy who loved a girl beyond the limits of the world, who drew in graphite, read poetry, baked bread and asked for consent like the gentlemen king he is.
Emeline was a soft, yet strong young woman who felt a little disconnected and lost throughout most of the story however knowing how it all ends, it only makes me tip my hat to Kristen Ciccarelli for capturing Emeline’s essence and loss.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long
