Bristal, an orphaned kitchen maid, lands in a gritty fairy tale gone wrong when she discovers she is an elicromancer with a knack for shape-shifting. An ancient breed of immortal magic beings, elicromancers have been winnowed down to merely two - now three - after centuries of bloody conflict in the realm. Their gifts are fraught with responsibility, and sixteen-year-old Bristal is torn between two paths. Should she vow to seek the good of the world, to protect and serve mortals? Or should she follow the strength of her power, even if it leads to unknown terrors? She draws on her ability to disguise herself as a man to infiltrate a prince's band of soldiers, and masquerades as a fairy godmother to shield a cursed princess, but time is running out. As an army of dark creatures grows closer, Bristal faces a supernatural war. To save the kingdoms, Bristal must find the courage to show her true form.

Building on homages to Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Jane Austen’s Emma, and the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan, Hannah West makes a spectacular debut.

FUN! Since Bristal shapeshifts and plays several different roles in all three kingdoms in the realm of Nissera, let’s do a fashion tour of “what would Bristal wear in this form?”

About Hannah West

Hannah has swooned over fantasy and fairy tales since before she wrote her first story about a runaway princess living on top of a flagpole with two loves of bread. Kingdom of Ash and Briars is her first novel, which she began as a college junior while studying abroad in Orléans, France. She freelance writes for Modernize.com about renewable energy and sustainable living, and lives in Rockwall, Texas, with her husband and their rambunctious blue heeler.

You can also find out more about Kingdom of Ash and Briars from Holiday House’s site! 

So, which of these looks is your favorite? I must confess, I adore the Noblewoman (Vollare) look, especially those last two- can I like, own them please? But as herself, Bristal looks pretty amazing too! 

And this book sounds so, so good, yes? Leave Hannah some love!
