“As gritty as it is glamorous; as magical as it is magnetic. I could feel the ache and echo of those gilded dance halls until the very last page.” –Ryan Graudin, author of Bright and Broken Things
“Reading The Dancer and the Dream Thief is like sipping a goblet of fairy liquor in a speakeasy at midnight. An ingenious combination of noir and fairy tale.” –Mary McMyne, author of The Book of Gothel
“A unique, magical fantasy world that manages to be both terrifying and tender. I loved it!” –Louisa Morgan, author of The Faerie Morgana
Praise for Rowenna Miller

“Imaginative and sparkling and full of heart, The Palace of Illusions is the kind of book you want to crawl inside and make a home.” ―Devin Madson, author of Between Dragons and Their Wrath

“Miller’s atmospheric writing creates a richly detailed historical fantasy that lets readers see The Nutcracker in a unique way.” ―Library Journal

“Beautifully observed, steeped in folklore and rich with historical detail, The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill weaves a warm-hearted yet fierce fairy tale around the bonds of sisterhood and the choices facing women in a changing world. A true delight.” ―H. G. Parry, author of the Shadow Histories series

“Miller seamlessly blends historical fiction and fantasy to create this enchanting tale of two sisters. The book is awash in period details as well as a vivid fantasy world, but Miller never loses sight of the sisters’ relationship that sits at the heart of the story. Readers will be charmed by this tale of sisterhood, female strength, and the fae.” ―Booklist

“It’s impossible to resist the allure of this charming book. Its focus on the small, everyday things that can be made easier with a little luck and a little fairy grace really creates a lived-in world where you can smell the apple blossoms in the orchard and hear the rattle of wagon wheels on dirt roads.” ―NPR

“Atmospheric … a thoughtful meditation on sisterhood and priorities.” ―Publishers Weekly
