The future of the kingdom rests in the hands of a group of queer teens unsure of how to establish a democracy without its citizens immediately turning it back into a fascist state. Emyr is also desperately trying – and largely failing – to keep Asalin from fracturing into civil war. Wyatt and Emyr are on the hunt for Derek Pierce and his sister Clarke.
This second book opens a couple weeks after the events of the first.
Edgmon’s The Fae Keeper, the sequel to last year’s excellent young-adult fantasy The Witch King, is more vicious than its predecessor, taking the premise of oppressed witches fighting back against their fae oppressors and cranking it up to eleven. Readers will be left eager for the sequel to this fiery stunner of a fantasy.The Fae Keeper, H.E. "Edgmon's debut is a spellbinding duology starter, ultimately driven by its core cast of complicated and lovable characters, who will keep readers laughing with deftly written, witty dialogue that never veers into cliché, and a richly layered world that feels incredibly real, with high-stakes fascism, corruption, and oppression. "A complex fantasy debut, rich in nuanced LGBTQIA+ representation and timely social commentary, perfect for fans of Adam Silvera, Holly Black, and Rin Chupeco." - School Library Journal The page-turning resolution promises an irresistible duology closer to come." - Kirkus Reviews "This romantically charged, anti-fascist fantasy presents a diverse cast of queer characters. Readers will adore this revolution-tinged celebration of trans joy, which refreshingly builds its conflict without jumping for trauma tropes." - Publishers Weekly, Starred Review ☆ "Edgmon's ebullient debut depicts a variety of trans perspectives with tender sensitivity, and quintessential walking disaster Wyatt's self-deprecating humor, punk glee, and surprisingly level head are vividly lovable.
