YA
The legend of Tristan and Isolde gets a contemporary treatment when Harrison reimagines it in a high school setting. The romantic tensions among Tris, Izzie, Mark, and Branna translate well; witches, love potions, monsters, and a quest to rescue Izzie's father push the book toward supernatural fantasy.
