Love at first sight has never been so terrifying

Love at first sight has never been so terrifying

It's been a while since 16-year-old Fleur Griffon has had one of the weird and scary dreams that used to plague her childhood. So she's really creeped out when she starts dreaming of being hunted through a dark forest by an unseen, sinister archer.

But when her bookseller mother unexpectedly inherits the magnificent library of a famous French author, Fleur forgets all about her fears. Excitedly, mother and daughter travel to Bellerive Manor, near the ancient French town of Avallon, reputedly the last resting place of the 'real' King Arthur. And it is there, in the magical green forest near Bellerive, that Fleur meets a handsome, mysterious boy called Remy Gomert. It seems to be love at first sight, beautiful as a dream.

But Fleur's nightmare is just about to begin . . .

About the author

Isabelle Merlin

The first stories Isabelle Merlin remembers are the traditional fairy tales told to her by her French grandmother. Later, she heard family stories, which proved to her that magic and romance and terror don't only appear in fairytales: like the romantic story of the beautiful ancestor who caught the eye of the Sun-King, Louis XIV; or the amazing story of the wily ancestor who went from being a poor peasant to a multi-millionaire; or the tragic story of the curse of madness and misfortune that pursued other ancestors; or the spooky story of the chain-rattling ghost that haunted the family home deep in the green countryside of France. It's no wonder that she grew up with a head full of stories and a burning desire to become a writer. Isabelle lives in Australia with her family. Isabelle is the author of four books: Three Wishes, Pop Princess, Cupid's Arrow and Bright Angel.

Cupid’s Arrow is a very enjoyable read and highly recommended

Joyce Michael, Fiction Focus

In Isabelle Merlin’s third novel, Cupid’s Arrow, we follow 16-year-old Fleur, as she is thrown into a journey full of mystery, intrigue, terror and romance. Don’t let the covers fool you; this is not your average walk in the park teen novel. Through the interpretation of dreams and with the help of some strangers, Fleur tries to unravel a mystery that spans across the continents. With a voice and style that will appeal to teens everywhere, and a flowing pace, that will keep readers hooked, Cupid’s Arrow is a surprising gem that draws on the mystery and adventure of the legend that is King Arthur.’
