Book Description
An epic fantasy with a swoon-worthy romance and a conflict that will keep readers on the edges of their seats, Blade & Crystal Thorns is the 3rd book in the Fae and Crystal Thorns series.
A dagger could save them… if they don’t get stabbed in the back with it first.
Chloe and Quintus have just discovered a hidden court inside Faerie. It seems obvious who the new leader should be, especially once they realize how to find the missing crown. A golden and emerald dagger is the key to discovering it, but in the wrong hands, it could ruin them all.
When mortals start invading the court, their meddling impedes Chloe and Quintus’s quest for the crown. Even worse, Chloe starts to wonder if she truly agrees with Quintus’s plans for how the new court should be ruled.
With a long journey ahead, their differing ideals might finally pull them and the new court apart. This time, for good.

Editorial Reviews
Magic and mortals and memories, oh my! This fae-tastic fantasy novel had me in a whirlwind of emotions. Kay L. Moody really knows how to keep her readers on their toes.
Cheyenne, @chey.enne_books
Kay did it again by taking my heart into Crystal Thorn. The mystery of the blade and the kingdom’s secrets make it so easy to fall into the romantasy of Chloe and Quintus. Epic Series.
Lianne, @lianne_the_bibliophile
Kay L. Moody delivers another spellbinding Romantasy filled with epic adventure and sweet stolen moments between Chloe & Quintus! Crystalfall Court opens Faerie up to new mysteries & chaos, along with being one of the most breathtaking courts full of wonder & sparkle! This series is perfect for YA fantasy readers and left me in great anticipation for the next book!!
Kelly, @mermade.withlove
Filled with breathtakingly vivid scenes, mesmerizing moments of what comes next and a satisfying storyline, Kay has continued to out write herself and raise the bar on her writing standards. Crystalfall is a court that many readers would love to visit with imagery so beautifully described that the scenes danced from the pages. The character development from the previous installments made the book more enjoyable, and I was thrilled to re-enter the world that Kay has created. Enthralling, captivating, Kay remains a firm favorite author.
Anita, @hermeslvfan
Another epic installment in this amazing Fae adventure, full of quests, betrayals & forgiveness. It will leave you wanting more love after betrayal and hope for a new beginning.
Erin, @pagesinkedinshadows
A new dawn is rising and our dynamic duo is up for the challenge. Court intrigue, meddling humans, hidden fae courts, and an epic mission to complete. Dive into this book and allow yourself to dream!
Gladys, Nerd Girl Official
In this next epic installment Chloe & Quintus have embarked on a quest in which they must overcome the most, to learn to forgive, to love, and most importantly try to save Crystalfall. But can they do it in time? This is the gut wrenching and exciting story of how everything could break them apart…or everything could fall exactly into place.

When will you understand that books are the key to knowledge?
The best information is only going to be in one place, the library.
His voice came out gravelly and hungry and so deep it made her insides tingle.
Sometimes you are too beautiful for me to think clearly.
A curse is only a curse if you let it be.

If something in Faerie seems nice, it probably is not.
Maybe she shouldn’t have been so candid in expressing her love to him, but she couldn’t very well deny it now. Not after everything they’d been through.
Why worry about the future when life is happening right now? We can deal with the future when the future is here.
Maybe she could enjoy their love without choking it with so much fear.
Home is where you make it.
Her mortal nature took everyone down a path they never would have gone if not for her.
You saved Faerie too. You did what the fae could not do, despite their power and magic.
One of these days I’ll convince you to read. It has to happen eventually.
In a perfect world, their simple contentment could have lasted forever. But this was no perfect world. This was Faerie.
We’ll just have to do what mortals do best and innovate. Be creative.
Every story has high points and low ones. Experiencing low points just makes the high points even more powerful.
