In Asalin, fae rule and witches like Wyatt Croft.dont. Wyatt would give anything to forget where he came from-but a kingdom demands its king. Edgmon Goodreads Amazon Book Depository The Witch King sounds downright delightful with its trans witch main character, royal faes, impending gay marriage, and a fae kingdom in need of saving. This debut YA fantasy will leave you spellbound. Edgmon’s ebullient debut depicts a variety of trans perspectives with tender sensitivity, and quintessential walking disaster Wyatt’s self-deprecating humor, punk glee, and surprisingly level head are vividly lovable. To save a fae kingdom, a trans witch must face his traumatic past and the royal fiancé he left behind. But Wyatt’s bond with Emyr hasn’t died, and it may change everything. Wyatt and his asexual best friend Briar (who is Seminole and Diné) are quickly swept into a grassroots witch movement as well as a dark deal with Emyr’s rival for Wyatt’s freedom. Now 17 and out as a gay trans man, having escaped the persecution that Asalin’s witches face, Wyatt, who’s white, resents being dragged home by Emyr North, his “nearly obsidian” royal fiancé and former friend, to marry and secure the throne against a rival upstart. Three years ago, Wyatt Croft’s uncontrolled magic started a murderous wildfire, and he fled the fae kingdom of Asalin for Texas. Technomagic, queer activism, and an extremely online trans protagonist sparkle in this wisecracking, intimate #OwnVoices debut.
