Unseelie
ByPublisher Description
The start of a swoony, high-energy duology that Emily Lloyd-Jones, author of The Bone Houses, calls “reminiscent of classic fairytales yet brimming with a charm all its own.”
“A world of glimmering fae that sparkles with mystery, adventure, and enchantment.” —Andrew Joseph White, New York Times bestselling author of Hell Followed with Us
Iselia “Seelie” Graygrove looks just like her twin, Isolde…but as an autistic changeling left in the human world by the fae as an infant, she has always known she is different. Seelie’s unpredictable magic makes it hard for her to fit in—and draws her and Isolde into the hunt for a fabled treasure. In a heist gone wrong, the sisters make some unexpected allies and find themselves unraveling a mystery that has its roots in the history of humans and fae alike.
Both sisters soon discover that the secrets of the faeries may be more valuable than any pile of gold and jewels. But can Seelie harness her magic in time to protect her sister and herself?
“Housman’s stunning debut is the sort of love letter only an autistic author could write. Fae canon has been waiting for this one.” —H.E. Edgmon, author of The Witch King

“Unseelie
4⭐️
“Fairy mischief is just a part of life. Anyone with common sense accepts this and does their best to co-exist, with bribes of milk and shiny things.”
When twin sisters Iselia (Seelie) and Isolde (Sol) decide to break into a home on Revelnox, the last thing they expected to find was a trinket that would lead them on an adventure through their realm, and the realm of the fae. Seelie is a neurodivergent changling, and while she and her sister look alike, they couldn’t be more different. Now, these sisters have to join unexpected allies to discover the mystery that this trinket holds.
From the beginning, this book had me interested. The characters are diverse and the mixture of fae and human aspects are done well. Seelie’s character is neurodivergent and the representation of autism in this book is perfect. I think that it is so important for people to be able to connect with characters and that is what Ivelisse has done with this book. I really enjoy the story telling and cannot wait to see where the second book leads!”

“I do need these people to communicate a bit more, but I like Seelie's way of seeing the world and her magic.”
About Ivelisse Housman
Ivelisse Housman is a Puerto Rican-American author and illustrator. At all seven schools she attended throughout her childhood, she was infamously “that kid who gets in trouble for reading during class, but refuses to stop.” She was diagnosed with autism at 15, which made everything make a lot more sense. When she isn't writing, she can be found making soup or tending to her houseplants. She lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains with her high school sweetheart/archnemesis and their two rescue dogs.
