Description
Heather Fawcett meets T.J. Klune in this lighthearted and hilarious epistolary novel that intertwines Dutch faerie folklore with an adorable sapphic love story.
"Unique, beguiling, and absolutely irresistible! I adored this witty and charming love story!" -Sarah Beth Durst, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop
Cornelia “Neeltje” Feyen is not only spectacularly behind on her next novel, but her affair with a married woman has gone both public and sour. Fearing further retaliation from her lover's husband, and knowing that society usually isn't on the side of faelings, those who are half human, half faerie (and sapphic ones, at that!), she sees no other option but to temporarily move in with her brother, Alfred, on the small Dutch island of Gravesmade, where he hopes she can use her faeling ability to spot faerie curses and win the community's trust.
Despite her broken heart, on the voyage Cornelia finds herself saving a beautiful damsel in distress from water faeries, but loses track of her with no idea of her identity. When she settles in, Cornelia discovers the woman's name is Josefien, and she serves as a governess in the small village where Alfred lives. Cornelia vows to not seduce her as all of her relationships turn out badly, but as she saves Josefien from another faerie attack her broken heart fades and something more delightful takes its place.

It's been a long time since I enjoyed a narrator's company as much as I enjoyed Cornelia Feyen's: her irresistibly relatable voice combines with some truly creepy faeries, touching and well-drawn relationships, and the book's fun academic framing, to create a story that's both playful and profound.

My soul craves a sapphic scoundrel and Cornelia delivered in spades. If you've been craving a queer fantasy that is one part October Daye and one part Bridgerton, this is the book you've been waiting for. This book is a sparkling cocktail of fey mayhem and deliciously messy feelings. Read it immediately.
