“I never knew just how much I needed the dark and thorn-riddled history of Tam Lin’s fabled foe until I read The Changeling Queen. As entrancing as the ever-shifting magic at its core, it had me rooting for the Queen of Faery and her journey of sacrifice from misfit to monarch until the very last line.” —Shveta Thakrar, author of the Andre Norton Nebula Award finalist Star Daughter, on The Changeling Queen

Our heroine lives on the borders between all these worlds, where she must learn when to be honest, and when to wear a mask, when to be kind, and when to be cruel. A must-read for fans of magic and myth.” —Linnea Hartsuyker, author of The Half-Drowned King, on The Changeling Queen
