Fans of Libba Bray's The Diviners will love The American Fairy Trilogy's stylish blend of fantasy and twentieth-century history.
Callie LeRoux is choking on dust. It settles on the food in the kitchen. It seeps through the cracks in the hotel that Callie and her mother run in Kansas. It's slowly filling her lungs. Callie's begged her mother to leave their town, like their neighbors have already done, but her mother refuses. She's waiting for Callie's long-gone father to return.
Just as the biggest dust storm in history sweeps through the Midwest, Callie discovers her mother's long-kept secret. Callie's not just mixed race-she's half fairy, too. Now, Callie's fairy kin have found where she's been hidden, and they're coming for her.
While red dust engulf the prairie, magic unfolds around Callie. Buildings flicker from lush to shabby, and people aren't what they seem. She catches glimpses of a tail, a wing, dark eyes full of stars. The only person Callie can trust may be Jack, the charming ex-bootlegger she helped break out of jail.
From the despair of the Dust Bowl to the hot jazz of Kansas City, from dance marathons to train yards, to the dangerous beauties of the fairy realm, Sarah Zettel creates a world rooted equally in American history and in magic, where two fairy clans war over a girl marked by prophecy.
