Unseelie by Ivelisse Housman

A changeling caught between two worlds. A sister she would do anything to protect. And a dangerous faerie court that may hold the answers she’s been searching for.

Unseelie by Ivelisse Housman is an enchanting YA fantasy following twin sisters Iselia “Seelie” and Isolde as they navigate a world of magic, heists, dangerous bargains, and complicated fae.

Seelie is an autistic changeling raised in the human world alongside her human twin, Isolde. While Isolde seems perfectly suited to their adventurous life, Seelie has always struggled with the unpredictable magic inside her—and with the knowledge that somewhere in the faerie realm is the truth about where she came from.

After a heist goes spectacularly wrong, the sisters find themselves tangled up with a pair of fellow outcasts and searching for a mysterious treasure connected to the fae. Their journey leads them toward powerful magic, hidden histories, and secrets that force Seelie to confront what it truly means to be a changeling.

Whimsical, adventurous, and full of heart, Unseelie blends faerie folklore and found family with a refreshingly authentic autistic heroine whose differences are an integral part of her story.

Perfect for readers who love: fae fantasy, autistic and neurodivergent representation, sister bonds, magical heists, found family, dangerous quests, and heroines discovering where they truly belong.
