Publisher Description
A lush, sapphic, enemies-to-lover YA fantasy graphic novel about a changeling princess, a faerie heir, and the dangerous romance neither of them expected, perfect for fans of The Darkest Part of the Forest, Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries, and The Girl From the Sea.
Aisling has spent her whole life believing she was the beloved crown princess. But on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, a mysterious girl named Forgive-Me-Not breaks into her bedroom with a terrifying truth:
Aisling is not human.
She’s a changeling — a fae child secretly swapped into the royal family years ago.
And Forgive-Me-Not? She’s the real princess.
Raised in the brutal world of Faerie while Aisling lived in luxury, Forgive-Me-Not wants revenge for the life stolen from her. But when the two girls are forced onto the run together, anger slowly gives way to reluctant trust, sharp banter, aching vulnerability, and an undeniable attraction.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The paths of a changeling and the girl whose life she unknowingly stole unexpectedly collide in this spirited enemies-to-lovers fairy tale by Costa (Belle of the Ball). Shortly before her 18th birthday, Princess Aisling is kidnapped at knifepoint by Forget-Me-Not, a servant of the fae. When Forget-Me-Not wounds Aisling with an iron sword, the princess's enchanted human glamour dissolves, revealing her true form: a purple-skinned creature with horns and a tail. Forget-Me-Not intends to take Aisling to the Seelie court, where she will return Aisling to her biological father, a fairy courtier, in exchange for freeing Forget-Me-Not from contracted servitude to the fae. Aisling struggles to adjust to her new form and the social and magical expectations of fairykind as the pair traverse the ever-changing landscape, facing off against powerful foes and confronting their shared past. Along the way, their relationship deepens toward romance, complicating Forget-Me-Not's plans. Uncluttered illustrations and straightforward paneling allow the bright and colorful hues of the fairy realm to burst from the pages, making for a lively adventure. Aisling's naivete and genuine belief in the power of love to conquer all juxtaposed with Forget-Me-Not's jaded pragmatism and the malevolent cruelty of the surrounding magical world culminate in a thematically rich narrative. Ages 14–up.
