Book Overview

A New York Public Library Best Book for Teens 2021

To save a fae kingdom, a trans witch must face his traumatic past and the royal fianc? he left behind.

In Asalin, fae rule and witches like Wyatt Croft...don't. Wyatt's betrothal to fae prince Emyr North was supposed to change that. But when Wyatt lost control of his magic one devastating night, he fled to the human world.

Now a coldly distant Emyr has hunted him down. Despite transgender Wyatt's newfound identity and troubling past, Emyr claims they must marry now or risk losing the throne. Jaded, Wyatt strikes a deal with the enemy, hoping to escape Asalin forever. But as he gets to know Emyr again, Wyatt realizes the boy he once loved may still exist. And as the witches face worsening conditions, he must decide what's more important--his people or his freedom.

Customer Reviews

I absolutely love this book.

Growing up, especially as a teenager, fantasy books were always my go-to. I fell out of reading over the years, and recently picked up The Witch King. H.E. Edgmon recaptured my love for fantasy, but offered a book filled with inclusion. As a non-binary person, having a trans main-character really tickles me. BIPOC also take main stage, making this book absolutely fantastical. Can’t wait for Book #2
