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

‘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!’

Kiera Azar, author of Thorn Season

‘One of the most wildly weirdly original books I have read in a long time. I was absolutely gripped by the fascinating, twisty, world of Moth Dark. And Sascia was the perfect compellingly flawed heroine with whom to plunge into the Dark. Kika Hatzopoulou spins a story full of complex theories around genetics, time and gender with such deftly confident writing that I found myself being happily led through the book like Theseus following Ariadne's thread.’

Alwyn Hamilton, author of Rebel of the Sands

‘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.’
