The number of times I’ve corrected this error is what’s unhealthy. #skywriters

Hey I heard you like fantasy with a swords and magic and all that fun stuff, but still want great dialogue, strong, complex characters, a dash of romance and a spoon full of political intrigue?
And it has bisexual women who actually have long-term relationships with women?

You found it.
Book covers in a pentagon. Talia: Heir to the Fairy Realm at the top, clockwise, Talia:On the Shore of the Sea, Fairy Court in Exile, Mother of Exiles and Queen of Thorns.
