Juliet answered Elisha's question: Hi Ms. Marillier. Thank you so much for these books first of all. I've been a fan since Daughter of the Forest first came out. I was wondering two things. 1) Will the audiobook, Beautiful, be available as an ebook at some point? 2) Is there a map for the Blackthorn & Grim/Warrior Bards? Hi Elisha.

Because it was published as an audiobook special (part of the launch of Audible Originals in Australia) Audible will w... See Full Answer

Quotes by Juliet Marillier

“If a man has to say trust me, Gogu conveyed, it's a sure sign you cannot. Trust him, that is. Trust is a thing you know without words.”
― Juliet Marillier, Wildwood Dancing

“He would have told her - he would have said, it matters not if you are here or there, for I see you before me every moment. I see you in the light of the water, in the swaying of the young trees in the spring wind. I see you in the shadows of the great oaks, I hear your voice in the cry of the owl at night. You are the blood in my veins, and the beating of my heart. You are my first waking thought, and my last sigh before sleeping. You are - you are bone of my bone, and breath of my breath.”
― Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest

“So you do believe in... true love? she whispered.
I took a deep breath, I think I have to, I said, blinking back tears. Without it, we're all going nowhere.”
