Who are you when you can wear any face?

Aren is a shapeshifter, able to run with a centaur herd, fly on a hawk's wings, and scurry through the kitchens to the screams of the innkeeper's wife.

At age six, she's a human foundling, abandoned to the care of the village hedgewitch. With refugees fleeing a strange upheaval in the north, spirits singing to her from a haunted forest, and the hedgewitch working to stop a looming disaster, she won't escape her childhood unchanged.

At nineteen, he's an elf, flirting his way through the Queen's Court to find out what killed his mother and cursed his village. Unfortunately, it only takes one misstep to alert the elves to the shapeshifter in their midst. With the palace hunting the imposter and a human delegation arriving at Court--including a too-familiar human prince--Aren must walk a careful line to piece together the truth of what happened all those years ago.

For readers who enjoy Witch King by Martha Wells, Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare, and Uprooted by Naomi Novik.
