From Alyssa’s post:
Here is my AMAZING cover for my upcoming book. ALL THE QUEENS’ CURSES is a gripping and atmospheric retelling of a Scottish Isles fairytale.
Kit has been cursed into a body that isn’t her own. Idris has been cursed to dance to the death. If they want to break their curses, they’ll need to work together. For fans of Holly Black, Allison Saft’s A FRAGILE ENCHANTMENT, and Marissa Meyer’s GILDED, comes a high-stakes fairytale featuring royal curses, selkies, chronic illness and trauma, sisterhood, a complicated romance, and morally ambiguous fae.
Out August 25 (US) or 27 (UK) and available for preorder now! (See links in comments!)
It’s time for Kit’s dear stepsister, Princess Catharine, to meet her intended, Prince Idris, at a ball. Chronically ill Kit doesn’t expect to connect with Idris there, but he quickly sees through Kit’s defenses and into her terrible secret: The king, her stepfather, has been abusing her.
The night of the ball is also Idris’s birthday, and at midnight a fae messenger reveals to Idris the crime his ancestor committed against the fae queen, and the curse she gave his family. Idris accepts her trial to end the curse, though it will kill him.
Meanwhile, the queen seeks out the fae to swap Kit and Catharine’s bodies to save Kit from the king. Changed and horrified, the girls flee to the prince’s lands. With Idris’s help they must all try to undo their curses and see justice done for their families’ wrongs.

My family read it out loud at Christmas and it made everyone cry so you know it is good. I adore the characters, especially the male main character. He is refreshingly virtuous and I can see some similarities to Apen in his decision making.
Content-wise I would say it’s similar to TSE in that it’s PG-13 because of some heavy subject matter, but the mature things are tastefully handled with the weight they deserve, and it happens off-screen.
