‘Endlessly delightful and wildly inventive, The Art of Charming a Changeling is cosy fantasy at its finest’ Megan Bannen, author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy
The Art of Charming a Changeling is a cosy slice-of-life romantasy set in a Regency-inspired world of enchanted galleries and fairy artistry, from Sylvie Cathrall, author of A Letter to the Luminous Deep. Fans of Margaret Rogerson and Heather Fawcett will be enchanted.
On her first day working in the prince’s galleries, art conservator Florrie Hyverfell discovers that the most famous portrait in the collection is not only a fake-it’s also inhabited by Vern, a fairy trapped in the forged painting.
Tracking down the stolen original is the only way for Florrie to save her job and for Vern to escape his canvas. Yet as they journey to a famed fairy museum to find the missing artwork, Florrie finds herself taking more than an art historical interest in the changeling painting’s charming inhabitant.
‘In a word: Charming! Cathrall spins a gentle, engaging story centring finding the folks who love how our brains work. Loads of lush descriptions will sweep the reader away into a magical world’ Caitlin Rozakis, author of Startup Hell
‘Winsome, vibrant, and full of cozy delights. Sylvie Cathrall’s clever worldbuilding is layered with a gossamer yearning and enchanting romance that made me want to keep lingering in the pages long after the story was over’ Courtney Floyd, author of Higher Magic
‘Sylvie Cathrall’s books always remind me of how I’d like to live: with wonder and care for the people and the world around me. The Art of Charming a Changeling is an enchanting and transportive fantasy of painting, yearning, and the utter romance of truly seeing and being seen by another’ Elaine U. Cho, author of Ocean’s Godori
