Publisher Description
A queer "enemies to lovers" journey of a lost princess and a changeling who was made to take the heir's place as part of a fey scheme.
Aisling is many things to many people: princess, heir to the throne, teenage daughter of two loving parents… She’s also about to learn a lot more about herself: changeling. Fey creature. Hunted. Feared. Loved?
Forgive-Me-Not is the name given to the true princess — the lost teenage biological daughter to the king and queen, who’s grown up in the chaotic and untrustworthy realm of Faerie. When Forgive-Me-Not breaks into Aisling’s room the night before their 18 th birthday looking for revenge, the two embark on a long and arduous journey. And what starts as a confrontational and adversarial pairing grows into a bond of mutual understanding, friendship, and maybe something more…
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.
