Three generations of witches face down a faerie king with a heart of stone in this standalone fantasy adventure where Labyrinth meets Studio Ghibli–perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, Naomi Novik, and Heather Fawcett.

Crown of iron upon your head

Or else the Fae will kill you dead

Many years ago, Ria tricked the King of Faerie and made an impossible bargain to save her sister’s life. But when it came time to make their trade, the King failed to show, let alone uphold his end of the deal. Ria returned home and began raising her daughter to learn the ways of witchcraft—and to always wear iron to protect herself in the forest where the boundaries between the mortal world and Faerie are thin.

But now, the King has finally come to collect what he is owed: Ria’s firstborn child.

When she first took the fae king’s bargain, Ria was a terrified young girl, desperate to rescue her sister. Now she’s older, wiser, and scariest of all: a mother who’s been separated from her daughter.

And she’ll do anything to get her back.

Praise for this book

"A fresh and vibrant adventure, this fantasy blends darkness and humour, anchored with the unshakeable force of a mother's love."—Molly O'Neill, author of Greenteeth

“A beautiful love letter to the genre, featuring alluring creatures, a fabulous patchwork world, and a battalion of strong women at its heart. Swift builds a multifaceted story that enfolds readers in magic, trickery, illusion. Ria is a heroine that you can really sink your teeth into.

“A fantasy adventure with teeth, The Last Queen of Faerie is a perfect blend of light and darkness, levity and danger, a mother’s fierce love and some of the most terrifying fairies I’ve ever encountered. Highly recommended for fans of witchy, folklore-inspired stories with a lot of heart.”—Genoveva Dimova, author of Foul Nights

"Iron-clad, ill-fated bargains and stonehearted kings come collecting in Swift’s spellbinding tale that proves a mother’s love is the most dangerous magic of all.
