17-year-old Isobel is an artistic prodigy, a master of paint and brush. Her clients are the fae, magical immortal creatures who are incapable of creating any Craft of their own. They cannot compose music, or write poetry, or paint portraits or even cook breakfast. The fair folk will pay with riches, or with tricks, and it takes great cleverness to outwit them.
The Good Law forbids fae and human folk to fall in love, but of course it happens. Isobel has outwitted fair folk in the past, but how can she and her Autumn Prince escape the wrath of the fairy court?
A quick, sweet romance, with lots of magic and a talented, quick-witted young woman at the center of it all. No cussing, some kissing, some awkward nekkidness, a bit of blood, some monsters, and lots of magic.
Recommended for readers ages 12 to adult.
