Descripción editorial
Warrior faery princes can be very stubborn. Especially when they possess your body.
Fourteen-year-old Finn just wants to keep his little sister out of Child Protective Services—an epic challenge with their parentally-missing-in-action dad moving them to England, near the famous Stonehenge rocks.
Warrior faery Prince Zaneyr just wants to escape his father’s reckless plan to repair the Rift—a catastrophe that ripped the faery realm from Earth 4,000 years ago and set it adrift in an alternate, timeless dimension.
When Zaneyr tricks Finn into swapping places, Finn becomes a bodiless soul stuck in the Otherworld, fighting spriggans with sharp teeth and rival faery Houses. Back on Earth, Zaneyr uses Finn’s body to fight off his father’s seekers and keep the king’s greatest weapon—himself—out of his hands.
Between them, they have two souls and only one body… and both worlds to save before the dimensional window between them slams shut.
Faery Swap is an action and druid-magic filled portal fantasy, told by both a runaway faery prince and the boy he’s tricked into taking his place.
Suitable for all ages. Includes four interior illustrations.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Quinn (the Mindjack trilogy) introduces Finn, a bullied 14-year-old new to England, who is intent on keeping himself and his younger sister out of foster care, due to an absentminded father. Complications arise when Zaneyr, a faery prince from the Otherworld, swaps souls with Finn as a way to escape his dangerous father, king of the Otherworld. Finn soon realizes that the only way to retrieve his soul before the solstice is to help Zaneyr in his plot to overthrow the king before a rift opens between the human and Otherworld, leading to mass destruction. Surprised by the knowledge that Finn's father is a long-lost brother to Zaneyr making Finn part faery himself Finn relies on his own abilities to win dissenting faeries to his side and entrap the king. Quinn's elaborate novel, which shifts focus between Finn and Zaneyr, teems with action and suspense. Yet the logic of the magic used and its relationship to mathematics can be confusing, and characters are often forgotten or dropped, detracting from an otherwise promising tale. Ages 8 12.
