See moreHabren Faire and Neirin are back in an irresistible romantasy set in the land of Welsh fae, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Faebound, Leigh Bardugo and The Cruel Prince
New for 2026, an adventurous YA romantasy sequel inspired by Welsh fairy tales featuring a reluctant but powerful heroine
Habren Faire and Neirin are back in an irresistible romantasy set in the land of Welsh fae, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Faebound, Leigh Bardugo, and The Cruel Prince.
Habren Faire saved the fairies. But Sabrina Parry will not be rewarded for it.
Sabrina doesn't live with the fairies. She visits, travelling with borrowed magic and her iron sword, and she has no intention of staying. She has places to be and centuries to travel through.
But when an ancient white dragon begins burning the villages of Gwlad y Tylwyth Teg to the ground, Sabrina's family is in the firing line. The fairy king is nowhere to be found, and Sabrina hasnβt heard from Neirin in months.
Someone has to do something. The problem is, saving the realm the second time around is considerably more complicated than the first. The fairy court is a nest of scheming lords and murderous ambitions, each one watching Sabrina as closely as they're watching the empty throne. And her father β brilliant, but infuriating β is already organising the villagers for a fight she isn't sure they can win.
As the King's Champion, the people look to Sabrina for answers she doesn't have, in a political game she never agreed to play, on behalf of a crown she doesn't want to represent. All she has is her iron sword, a very bad plan, and the stubborn conviction that someone has to stand between a dragon and the people of the Summer Lands.
It might as well be her.
Get ready to once again lose yourself in the mystical Welsh world of Habren Faire, where danger, political intrigue and romance await youβ¦
Praise for The Wicked Lies of Habren Faire:
'Shimmering with fae magic, Fiteniβs debut is rich in lyrical prose and Welsh mythology. Readers will fall in love with this book, as I have.' Rachel Greenlaw, author of Compass and Blade
'Exploring themes of power, oppression, sacrifice and sisterly love, this is the kind of Cruel Prince-esque book you want to curl up with on a cold evening and devour in one sitting.' CultureFly
'An engaging read, balancing a sense of history and of Wales across time, with the excitement of faerie tale adventure.' Books for Keeps
