Summary from Goodreads:
Every five years, two kingdoms take part in a Wild Hunt. Joining is a bloody risk and even the best hunters can suffer the most gruesome fates. Still, hundreds gamble their lives to participate—all vying for the Hunt’s life-changing prize: a magical wish granted by the Otherking.
BRANWEN possesses a gift no other human has: the ability to see and slay monsters. She’s desperate to cure her mother’s sickness, and the Wild Hunt is her only option.
GWYDION is the least impressive of his magically talented family, but with his ability to control plants and his sleight of hand, he’ll do whatever it takes to keep his cruel older brother from becoming a tyrant.
PRYDERI is prince-born and monster-raised. Deep down, the royal crown doesn’t interest him—all he wants is to know is where he belongs.
A trickster, a prince, and a wild huntress—if they band together against the monstrous creatures within the woods, they have a chance to win. But nothing is guaranteed, for all are fair game in love and the Hunt.
Review:
The Wild Huntress by Emily Lloyd-Jones is a dark, enchanting standalone that completely swept me away. With rich folklore, a fiercely compelling heroine, and just the right touch of eerie magic, this story gripped me from the very first page. The atmospheric writing and well-crafted world made it feel like stepping into a myth, and I couldn’t help but wish it were part of a larger series—I wasn’t ready to let go. This is the kind of book that lingers long after the final chapter, and I’m already itching to reread it. Five stars, without a doubt.
