Praise for The Changeling Queen “Lush, lyrical, and subversive, The Changeling Queen is a stirring anthem for female agency and desire, sung in counterpoint to the familiar ballad we thought we knew.” —Lyra Selene, International bestselling author of A Feather So Black “With language as lush as the woods of Faery, Kimberly Bea casts storytelling magic. An atmospheric, immersive tale of love and sacrifice.” —Lauren J. A. Bear, author of Mother of Rome “Rich with folklore, magic, mystery and a strange, dark beauty all its own, this lovely novel is as intoxicating as the Fae themselves. Opening its pages was like stepping through the veil into a long- ago time, when magic was rife and Faery was that much closer. Just beautiful.” —Kell Woods, author of Upon a Starlit Tide “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 “The Changeling Queen is an imaginative, sensual retelling of the legend of Tam Lin, this time from the point of view of the Queen of Faerie, exploring the multiple mysteries at the center of her court. The book evokes a timeless medieval world of faeries, nobles, and peasants, and their uneasy relationships. 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
