What to expect
A seductive fae queen meets her unexpected match in the enemy empire’s valiant general. Enchanting the Fae Queen is the second instalment in Stephanie Burgis' irreverent and sparkling Queens of Villainy series.
Queen Lorelei is a notorious fae seductress, with a trail of broken hearts in her wake. But behind her glamorous lifestyle and sparkling mask lurks a dangerously intelligent woman who’d do anything to keep her people safe, even kidnap the empire’s most famous hero.
The virtuous high general Gerard de Moireul represents all that is moral and true. He has to – after his parents were executed for treason. The last thing he needs is the Queen of Balravia, who showers glitter and rainbow-colored sparkles everywhere she goes without the slightest regard for good taste, decorum or royal dignity.
They’re opposites in every way, but when they’re swept up together in a grand - and deadly - fae tournament, they discover all of each other’s most hidden truths - and how perfectly they might be suited for each other after all.
Tropes: enemies to lovers; grumpy vs sunshine; kidnapping; morally grey FMC; deadly trials; fae

Critics Review
-
A new Stephanie Burgis book is always a joy, and Enchanting the Fae Queen continues the trend with one of my favorite microtropes: a clever woman who is underestimated by everyone around her – except the enemy general she abducts. Add in the perfect blend of fantasy and romance and the result is delightful!

I’ve yet to read a Stephanie Burgis book I haven’t adored, and Wooing the Witch Queen is no exception. With a cast of delightful characters, a wonderfully fierce heroine and heaps of wit, this is a warm and lovely story with a big heart
Sangu Mandanna, bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches on Wooing the Witch Queen

If you’re looking for the perfect blend of swoon-worthy romance and delightful fantasy world-building, Wooing the Witch Queen should be your next read. Filled with found family, cozy vibes and characters who care deeply about one another, I blazed through it at record speed because I couldn’t wait to get to the happily ever after – and Burgis delivered! I adored it, and I can’t wait to see what book two holds!

Wooing the Witch Queen is spectacular! Full of charm, wit and magic, with two pitch-perfect main characters and a swoon-worthy romance, it’s absolutely irresistible. I loved it!

Burgis keeps the pages flying while impressively balancing political intrigue, slow-burning romance and comic relief. Readers will be enchanted
Publishers Weekly on Wooing the Witch Queen
-
Witty dialogue, a slow-burn romance and secrets keep this story moving at a steady clip . . . Burgis’s clever romantasy is ideal for readers of Travis Baldree and Freya Marske
Library Journal on Wooing the Witch Queen
-
A heart-warmingly fun cosy fantasy which radiates with whimsy and charm. It was the kind of read that kept me smiling and had the kind of romance that was incredibly endearing
