Wyatt, a trans witch, it dragged back into the fae world he has so long avoided for the abuse and trauma that came it caused. When his fiancé (whom he left behind) shows up to take him back to the Fae Kingdom to see through their engagement to save the Kingdom, Wyatt is anything but helpful.

I have had this book on my radar for about a year now, and I finally read The Witch King for the #TransRightsReadathon. I am so happy I added this to my list.

I had a lot of fun with this one. Through humor-filled banter and action-packed adventure, H.E. Edgmon addresses important ideas of found family, the spectrum of gender and sexuality, and so much more. I have been slowly working my way up to reading more fantasy books, and this one did not disappoint. 

I will be recommending this title!
