Why read on Fable?
Publisher 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

“Where do I even begin. This book was by far my favorite book I read in 2024 and it's hard to nail down exactly why. The book itself isn't anything overly extraordinary, but I don't think I have ever connected with a character the way I did with Seelie. There were multiple occasions when I cried simply because she was able to put into words feelings I have had throughout my life. I have never seen a depiction of autism so deeply accurate to my personal experience and I cannot wait for the sequel to be published.”

“The MC is selfish, impulsive, kind, complex, and autistic! As someone who is navigating their own asd journey Seelie reminds me of the best and worst in myself, and seeing representation in the fantasy genre was surreal. I loved the story and while it took a little to get into, once it clicked I couldn’t put it down- highly recommend to anyone seeking a neurodivergent or fantasy novel. I hope the sequel builds on the enemies-to-lovers roots laid out in the very slow burn first book and I would love to see more development of Isolde and the rest of the group as well as more from the main villain.”BelievableChange and growDiverse representationMultilayeredRelatableAction-packedAddictiveDisjointedRushedSlow start, strong finishTwistyAncientEnchantedEtherealImmersive world-buildingInnovativeMagicalMysteriousMysticalOtherworldlySetting fits the storySurrealVivid descriptionsEasy to readFunnyOriginalTakes getting used toWittyViolence

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.
