Praise for The Changeling Queen
“Bea’s enchanting fantasy weaves a story of love, grief, heartbreak, and finding out who one can become in a world telling them who they should be. The Changeling Queen is full of captivating storytelling, a complex protagonist, and atmospheric world building; fantasy and folklore readers will want to pick this one up.” —Booklist
“In this feminist retelling of the Scottish ballad ‘Tam Lin,’ Bea explores the origin story of its antagonist and creates a memorable portrait of a sympathetic woman who finds her humanity gradually slipping away. Fia’s compelling transformation from compassionate misfit among mortals to terrifying representative of Faery will hook readers who enjoy folklore and fairy-tale retellings that center nonheroic perspectives and magical intrigue.” —Library Journal
“An imaginative, sensual retelling [that] 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
“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
“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
