Publisher Description
Sensual and romantic, The Changeling Queen combines folklore, desire, and sacrifice in a tale perfect for fans of Madeline Miller, Natalie Haynes, and Outlander.
“I am Faery and Faery is me.”
On Samhain in medieval Scotland, pregnant Janet rescues her lover Tam Lin from being sacrificed by the Wild Hunt—but the callous Faery Queen is not finished with them yet. Over the span of a single night, the Queen and Janet spar over Tam Lin’s fate. The Queen aims to win, knowing how fickle mortals can be. Long before she was royalty, she was simply Bess, the changeling daughter of a midwife.
Born with magical and mortal blood, Bess feared there was no true place for her on either side of the veil. She found refuge in the arms of the charming Thomas Shepherd, the bastard son of a local noble. While villagers viewed her as a scandal, Bess’s cunning knowledge and secret dark gifts attracted the attention of the elf lord Amadan. Wily and silver-tongued, Amadan led Bess into Faery’s realm of decadence, where her heart warred against her destiny. She fought to keep both—but at what cost?
Inspired by Scotland’s famous “Ballad of Tam Lin” and weaving together mystical folklore and tragic romance, The Changeling Queen’s journey into memory, betrayal, and redemption will leave you spellbound.
“As entrancing as the ever-shifting magic at its core. I was rooting for the Faery Queen and her journey of sacrifice from misfit to monarch until the very last line.”—Shveta Thakrar, author of Andre Norton Nebula Award finalist Star Daughter
