The Claiming is a gripping young adult fantasy that explores magic, power, and consent through the story of Spense, who accidentally binds Fae princess Dewy with an ancient spell and must journey to undo its consequences. #gifted by #thewildrosepress #booksky 📚💙 #booktok #yalit

Y'all, discoverability is harder than ever. With Twitter all but gone and publishing being --in a mood-- your favorite authors are floundering. We don't know how to reach our fans or find new readers. Telling someone about a book you love is a really big deal. That's the #1 reason people buy books!
