A brooding fae prince. A tyrannical king out for her blood. Could she be the one to save them all?

Aria is bored of her small town and dreams of a life filled with excitement and adventure. Until an eye-opening encounter at the summer fair sees her ripped from her normal life and thrown into a nightmare.

Dragged through the Veil into the Fair Realm by a strange, silver-eyed boy and his band of fairy soldiers, Aria discovers she is the legendary Fair Queen, the subject of a prophecy that promises to bring an end to the centuries-long conflict between the Five Kingdoms.

With terrifying creatures on their heels, and a tyrannical king who will stop at nothing to prevent the prophecy from coming true, Aria will have to rely on her wits if she’s to escape the Fair Realm with her life.

But can she resist the charms of her dark and mysterious captor, or will the fae prince steal her heart?

For fans of Holly Black's Folk of the Air comes a gripping new story that will lure you into a world of magic and monsters, and never let you go.

Scroll up and one-click today to lose yourself in the dark and seductive Fair Realm!

Editorial Reviews

Review

Vivid descriptions. Lots of action. The Fair Realm is an interesting combination of Elementals and Solitaries. I enjoyed the descriptions of barghests and the banshee - dark and horrific as it might be. Awesome worldbuilding and unexpected twists. I especially liked the tapestries and the family who owns them.
The mystery of time differences between Realms is intriguing. And the White Hart...can't wait to find out who it really is.
A thrilling read. Waiting for book 2!
Trigger warning: abduction, murder, gruesome animal deaths.
*I received an ARC from the author and this is my honest opinion.

Twisty and turn-y YA Portal Fantasy
Four solid stars for this sweet, twisty, turny portal fantasy. Note, it moves fast and there are lots of details to keep track of, but Hall does it in a fun, action-packed way. I may have to re-read to remember them all.Aria is an easy to empathize with character, which makes following her journey fun. Lots of entertaining side characters too: Rainer, Jasper, Xander... Lots of fun and scary creatures (the solitary): a banshee, a hag,This has a unique take on a Fae world. The Fair Kingdoms (the society structure) is reminiscent of houses in HP or factions in Divergent. Fun and original take on it by making it sections of society.One of my fave quotes:"I believe you are the Fair Queen, Aria... And when the histories are written, I want to be on the right side." --Rainer, p. 138.Fave, because it not only sums up the trajectory of the story, but isn't that where we all want to be in history? On the right side?

I am not well!

There are so many things I love about this book.

First of all I absolutely loved the world building. It wasn’t insane or overly complex. It was the right amount for f fantastical and believable. Even the political system in the Realm was perfection.

Lyndsey’s writing flowed so easily and it was perfect. Made for smooth reading and I honestly didn’t realize I had been reading as long as I had.

Aria is what I always imagine I would be like in a fantasy world. Just this side of doubtful at everything. She’s cautious and thinks it’s some elaborate scheme and if that isn’t a mood I don’t know what is! It’s easy to relate to Aria and her reaction to this new world and her longing of the world she left behind.

Absolutely incredible book from start to finish, constantly holding the readers attention with never a dull moment. I would give this book more stars if I could.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic read for a ya fantasy reader!

Hall did a wonderful job introducing Aria and her desire to get away from her hometown and be closer to her friend, something that I think a lot of young adults go through each year. I loved Aria's fire, her meticulous thinking to escape her captors, but also her shy nervous side revealed in the tender moments in the Realm. Then there’s the gnomes - handsome, witty, fun, but not powerless. They fight, they die, they put everything on line for her so they can return her to claim her crown. I was sad every time I had to put down the book because I wanted to see her relationships develop, learn more about the Realm, and come even one step closer to learning more of Aria’s true heritage. It broke my heart every time hers was broken; I cried when she cried because in less than 300 pages, I came to care for all the characters and rooted for their success. Hall also created perfect demented villains; Where there is light, there is darkness, and Hall did well in writing the darkness. I got chills when we met the undoubtedly true villain; he made my skin crawl.

3.0 out of 5 stars Baskerville Book Reviews
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2022
I can’t recommend this book for a few reasons. The first is how unoriginal it is. I’ve read or listened to this exact plot probably a dozen times over the last year and I’m sick of it. While I’m the type of person who will re-read the same series dozens of times, it’s for books with far more compelling characters and settings than this one has. That’s not to say the writing is bad, it’s just eh.

The issue with recycling the same plot as countless other stories is I predicted every single twist and plot point it threw at me. None of the revelations had any weight and even had I not previously consumed similar stories, I still would have figured it out.

I will say the ending took me by surprise. I wasn’t expecting any sort of wrap-up, as so many authors choose to do. I’m grateful to the author for at least giving people a stopping point in the series. It’s not as if every plot point is wrapped up and done with, it’s more that the writer doesn’t leave you handing in the middle of a scene, expecting you to read the sequel to see the other half, which is something I despise.

As for the narration, I found it extremely grating and wanted to DNF this book because of it. The narrator opted to read the story in a bland tone of voice with few inflections. Which was also the same voice she used for the protagonist. The only time she sounded even slightly different was when she was narrating conversations or other characters, which made those scenes a breath of fresh air.

Maybe if you don’t listen to many audiobooks, this would be tolerable. As somebody who listens to audiobooks every single day, this is a very sub-par and amateur performance. Credit where it’s due at least, she did speak in a clean and clear tone of voice without any flubs, errors, static, or other common Audible issues. It’s not the narration as a whole, but her performance that’s lackluster.

NOTE: This copy was provided to me free of charge as a digital review copy. The opinions stated in this review are mine and mine alone, I was not paid or requested to give this book a certain rating, suggestion, or approval.

I can't boast enough of both the literary merit and the spellbinding storytelling contained within these pages! Lyndsey Hall has crafted a stellar debut that you won't want to put down. "The Fair Queen," has earned a spot amongst my Top 5 favourite novels and I already can't wait for its sequel!

Lyndsey Hall, I commend you for taking a chance and sharing Aria's story with the world. I will be forever grateful that you did!

This novel is a definite MUST READ!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Flaming Hot Twisted Cheetos

If I was to compare this novel to a food snack, it would have to be Cheetos Twisted Flamin’ Hot.

That’s my review done.

Well if I didn’t like the sound of my own written voice that is.

This compact novel packs a punch and I think if I had a day where I could sit unhindered, in a comfy chair, wearing a fisherman’s waist coat with a multitude of pockets, filled with snacks of biscuit and potato varieties (possibly a scotch egg and three fig rolls), a hat with cans of soda and straws attached, a borrowed catheter bag… I’d probably read it and make a good start on the inevitable and now eagerly awaited sequel.

There was a solid story arc. A well developed world I couldn’t have seen any clearer had I been visiting via a virtual head set.

I bought into the characters because they were believable, even those who paid a fleeting visit to the story. I may have even developed a man crush on Rainer. The stunning book cover gives you a clear picture of the main character but the skilful description by the author made the other characters come to life.

The lore that is woven into the story alongside the creatures you meet, made this modern indie fantasy story stand up to more classic faery related stories.

I did smile and laugh inwardly at lots of references made in the dialogue and enjoyed some very British colloquialisms.

I enjoyed the bleeding in of certainly main-earth technology and terminology that would come from the visiting of our world by the Faery population who have segregated from us mundanes.

There was, I begrudgingly admit, some unexpected twists as well as some clever foreshadowing.

I’m still not on talking terms with some characters, despite the ability of a more mature, younger main character, who was able to grow in the story from her experiences and reflect on some things more wisely.

Not everything is at it seems and there are complex emotions behind some dark actions it’s easy to look in and give judgement but would we do anything different if we were in the same predicament?

This novel has certainly left me wanting more and I miss the characters already!

5.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable and well-told tale
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 4, 2022

An engrossing YA read which followed the usual trope of the “chosen one who doesn’t know she’s chosen” yet was still compelling and entertaining. Aria has no idea that she is the lost princess of a magical realm lying just beyond the reach of most mortals. No idea that is until she is kidnapped and whisked away on a terrifying adventure that throws one twist after another at the reader.

Well written and nicely presented, the author keeps the plot rolling along at a fair pace and never allows the reader to become complacent about the storyline. Aria is a very relatable character, and I was thankful the author resisted the temptation to make her clumsy – one of my pet peeves about books in this genre as I do not find clumsy heroines endearing, only annoying. Headstrong and determined, Aria is no shrinking violet. Rather she is determined and courageous, but also kind and compassionate – good princess material.

The main male character, Xander, was complex and at times I wasn’t sure whether he was a good guy or a baddie – and I know Aria felt the same way. This ambiguity about his character added a nice layer of uncertainty to the dynamic between the couple which made a refreshing change.

All in all, an enjoyable and well-told tale that I thoroughly enjoyed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Chosen One fantasy
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2023

When teenager Aria is kidnapped by the mysterious Xander and his troupe of young men, she discovers that she's the long lost heir of a dying king, burdened with magical abilities. But nothing and no-one is quite what they seem in this war torn supernatural world.

Utilising the well worn Chosen One trope with its burgeoning gifts and perpetual beauty, the story is still charming enough to engage the reader, touching on tolerance, diversity and identity. That said, I found the more dubious characters to be the most entertaining, particularly the questionable motives of the Gnome prince.

The end wasn't particularly satisfying, but I suspect there's a lot more to come in the sequel that will tie up loose ends.
