Moth Dark

‘Kika Hatzopoulou has once again crafted a world so unique and addictive that I devoured this in a matter of days. I love how gender fluidity was explored in the Darkworld, and Kika’s take on Fae is both dark and incredibly fun. Whimsical prose and a slow burning romance unlike any I’ve read before made Sascia and Nugau’s story a new favourite.’ * Alexandra Christo, author of To Kill a Kingdom *‘Moth Dark is an achingly hopeful, breathtaking love story and an ode to kindness and compassion. It’s the sort of book you want to linger in the dark with, and I absolutely loved every moment sunk within its pages.’ * Bea Fitzgerald, author of Girl, Goddess, Queen *‘Darkly dreamy, timely and expertly crafted, Moth Dark is a bittersweet love letter to the wondrous and the inexplicable. Within the strange beauty of the Darkworld, you will find star-crossed romance, a heady blend of science and magic and brilliant characters determined to end the cycle of violence. I cannot recommend it highly enough!’ * Allison Saft, author of Wings of Starlight *‘Utterly enthralling and darkly whimsical, Moth Dark is a thrill ride of a book, bringing a much-needed breath of fresh air to the YA genre with its tale of twisted timelines and unyielding love. Tender and fierce in equal measures, Sascia and Nugau’s story is certain to stay with you long after the book is over.’ * A. B. Poranek, author of Where the Dark Stands Still *‘A lush, breathtaking and wholly unique fantasy, with a devastating star-crossed romance and a world that lifts off the page like a fluttering of moths. I was entranced.’ * Ava Reid, author of A Study in Drowning *‘Moth Dark is everything I’ve come to expect from Kika Hatzopoulou – dark, twisty, romantic and completely, dazzlingly original. Unlike anything else I’ve read.’ * Sarah Underwood, author of Lies We Sing to the Sea *‘Beautifully written and deeply compelling – Moth Dark is an absolute triumph of a book. Kika Hatzopoulou masterfully weaves together an engaging, unexpected plot with the kind of swoon-worthy romance that spans worlds and timelines. Sascia and Nugau’s story will leave you sobbing and desperate to read it all over again. I was hooked from the very start.’ * Pascale Lacelle, author of Curious Tides *‘With an incandescent love story that lights up the Dark and an intricately crafted otherworld at the edge of our own that feels compellingly real, Hatzopoulou makes a blazing mark in the world of contemporary romantic fantasy. Utterly exhilarating, mysteriously alluring and deeply beautiful.’ * Amélie Wen Zhao, author of The Scorpion and the Night Blossom *‘For fans of Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Moth Dark is wildly imaginative, achingly romantic and impossible to put down.
