From the bestselling author of Threads that Bind and Hearts that Cut comes a brand-new compulsive romantasy about a girl obsessed with the dark and the shadowy magical prince she falls in love with, perfect for fans of Holly Black and Laini Taylor. 'A world so unique and addictive that I devoured this in a matter of days. Whimsical prose and a slow burning romance unlike any I've read before.' Alexandra Christo, author of To Kill a Kingdom THE DARK HAS COME ALIVE . . . Six years ago, vicious creatures began to crawl out of the dark crevices of the world, and with it Sascia's fascination with the darkness was born. Now that fascination has become an obsession, and while exploring an area known for its connection to the Darkworld, Sascia - impossibly - pulls out a person from the shadows. But Nugau is no ordinary person, they're the heir to the Darkworld, with one mission . . . to kill Sascia. Except, the second time they meet, Nugau is younger and doesn't recognise Sascia. And the third time, Nugau stumbles out of the darkness with poison running through their veins, expressing their undying love for her. Piecing together the puzzle, Sascia makes two shocking discoveries- the timelines of her world and Nugau's are not linear, and she is inexplicably entangled in a war between humanity and the Dark. But with their worlds at battle, is it worth fighting for each other . . . ? PRAISE FOR MOTH DARK- 'An achingly hopeful, breathtaking love story. 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. You will find star-crossed romance, a heady blend of science and magic and brilliant characters determined to end the cycle of violence.' Allison Saft, author of Wings of Starlight 'Utterly enthralling and darkly whimsical, Moth Dark is a thrill ride of a book, with its tale of twisted timelines and unyielding love.

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.' 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 'Wildly imaginative, achingly romantic and impossible to put down.
