Here at SFFWorld we’re pleased to offer you an exclusive look at HOW TO FIND A NAMELESS FAE, by A J Lancaster before it is released!
Princess Gisele has spent her life waiting for an evil fae sorcerer to claim her. It was the price of her mother’s crown – her first-born child for the ability to spin straw into gold. But it’s been decades, and he still hasn’t shown up. Now, the magic has curdled into a curse.
So Gisele marches into the fae realm to hunt down her ‘Malediction’. Yet instead of a monster, she finds a scholarly, cat-eared sorcerer and his meddling, sentient house. And he wants nothing to do with the angry, knife-wielding princess on his doorstep. Unfortunately, the magic that binds them won’t let them go that easily. And in a house that rearranges itself to keep them together, Gisele discovers that the man who ruined her life might just steal her heart.
She came to end him, but she might stay to save him.
