No Elf Control?
Master of One by Jaida Jones & Dani Bennett
Rags is a thief, an excellent one, one who has just been caught red handed by the Queensguard and forced by a very sadistic royal sorcerer into a very unfair bargain.
But it can’t be too bad, Rags is a thief a damn good one and breaking into ancient fae ruins to steal a relic sounds fun what could possibly go wrong.
The Buried and the Bound by Rochelle Hassan
As the only hedgewitch in Blackthorn, Aziza El-Amin has dealed with many different types of magical creatures from bargaining with wood nymphs, rescued palm-sized fairies from house cats and had banished flesh-eating shadows from the local park. But when a dark entity awakens in the forest outside of town, eroding the invisible boundary between the human world and fairyland, run-of-the-mill fae mischief turns into outright aggression, and the danger—to herself and others—becomes too great for her to handle alone.
An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson
Isobel is an artistic prodigy with a dangerous set of clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal creatures who cannot bake bread or put a pen to paper without crumbling to dust. They crave human Craft with a terrible thirst, and Isobel’s paintings are highly prized. But when she receives her first royal patron—Rook, the autumn prince, she makes a terrible mistake. She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes, furious, Rook spirits her away to his kingdom to stand trial for her crime.
But something is seriously wrong in his world, and they are attacked from every side. With Isobel and Rook survival on the line they must work together.
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
Jude was 7 years old when her parents were murdered in front of her and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie.
Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King.
To win a place at the Court, she must defy expectations and become just like them, tricky and powerful in her own right or face the consequences.
Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett
Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world's first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people.
So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk, But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones—the most elusive of all faeries—lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town the closer to danger she gets.
