Description
The Art of Charming a Changeling is a cosy slice-of-life romantasy set in a Regency-inspired world of enchanted galleries and fairy artistry, from Sylvie Cathrall, author of A Letter to the Luminous Deep. Fans of Margaret Rogerson and Heather Fawcett will be enchanted.
On her first day working in the prince's galleries, art conservator Florrie Hyverfell discovers that the most famous portrait in the collection is not only a fake-it's also inhabited by Vern, a fairy trapped in the forged painting.
Tracking down the stolen original is the only way for Florrie to save her job and for Vern to escape his canvas. Yet as they journey to a famed fairy museum to find the missing artwork, Florrie finds herself taking more than an art historical interest in the changeling painting's charming inhabitant.

Author's Bio
Sylvie Cathrall writes stories of hope and healing with healthy doses of wonder and whimsy. She holds a graduate degree in odd Victorian art and has handled more than a few nineteenth-century letters (with great care). Sylvie married her former pen pal and lives in the mountains, where she dresses impractically and dreams of the sea.
