Illusion’s Reign (Daughters of Atìrse Book 2) by Sarah Pennington
This looks like an awesome story! A mash-up of two fairy tales? I’m adding it to my TBR list. The best part? Even though this is book 2, it’s the prequel to book 1! I’ve included book 1 below.
Crown Princess Onora of Atìrse is eager to prove herself as the heir to her parents’ throne. Moving into one of her family’s holdings away from the Royal Seat offers the chance to put into practice all she’s learned and demonstrate what kind of queen she intends to one day be, and even the shadow of an uprising among Atìrse’s faery neighbors can’t dull her excitement. Yet her plans go awry when one of her attendants proves false and she’s transformed and replaced by a faery imposter.
Though cursed and cast into the role of a lowly goose-keeper, with only her beloved cat as an ally, Onora refuses to admit defeat. She’ll do whatever it takes to break the curse, expose the imposter, and take back the role that is rightfully hers. However, that’s easier said than done when her opponent can so easily manipulate the truth — and the fickle feelings of the locals and the surliness of the miller’s strange assistant don’t make her task any less difficult.
Time is swiftly passing, and Onora must reclaim her place before the transformation becomes permanent. But can she do so when nothing is as it seems and even her allies have secrets?
Return to the kingdom of Atìrse and discover what happens when “The Goose Girl” meets “Puss in Boots” in this prequel to the award-winning Song of the Selkies.
Song of the Selkies (Daughters of Atìrse Book 1) by Sarah Pennington
A Little Mermaid retelling!
The youngest princess of Atìrse, Ceana always planned to marry for the good of her people and let love come later. With her sisters’ marriages ensuring peace with the nearby human kingdoms, Ceana sets her sights on their last unallied neighbor: the magical and reclusive selkies. The two peoples have experienced a wary peace for generations, and the time seems ripe for a deeper alliance that will benefit both kingdoms. The last thing Ceana expects is for Fionntan, king of the selkies, to take the proposal as a grave insult.
With relations between the two peoples suddenly precarious, Ceana is determined to set things right. Aided by her grandmother, she disguises herself as a selkie and travels to their hidden home of Emain Ablach, where she hopes to discover the reason behind King Fionntan’s reaction. But the more she learns about the selkies, the more she uncovers long-kept secrets of her people — and her heritage — that shake the foundations of how she viewed the world. Her growing friendships with and affection for some of the selkie nobility, including King Fionntan himself, further complicate matters, especially as her admiration for the selkie king begins to blossom into something more. No relationship built on a lie can survive, but revealing her true identity as an Atìrsen princess will doom her efforts towards peace.
In order to bridge the divide between selkies and humans, Ceana will have to overcome generations of selkies’ suspicion and reveal the insidious evil that’s taken root in her homeland. But the greatest obstacle to her success may be her own heart.
Discover a magical new world in this Little Mermaid retelling from the author of Through a Shattered Glass and the Bastian Dennel, PI mysteries.
