How to Find a Nameless Fae

A How to Find a Nameless Fae Standalone

By: AJ Lancaster

Narrated by: Marian Hussey

What happens when a firstborn bargain goes wrong?

Princess Gisele has spent her life preparing for an evil fae sorcerer to claim her. That was the bargain her mother was tricked into: one royal firstborn in exchange for spinning straw into gold.

But it's been decades, and he still hasn't shown up.

The unfulfilled fairytale debt, however, is refusing to lie quietly. When its chaotic magic reaches unbearable levels, Gisele takes matters into her own hands. Terrifying fae sorcerer or not, she'll hunt him down and force him to stop ruining her life.

But instead of an evil mastermind, she finds the scholarly, nameless lord of a magical house. He wants nothing to do with the angry knife-wielding spinster on his doorstep. Unfortunately, the fairytale debt has other ideas.

Now magically bound to her lifelong nemesis, the only way to break the magic between them is to work together to find the nameless fae's lost name. Assuming they don't strangle each other first.

How to Find a Nameless Fae is a cozy fantasy romance retelling of "Rumplestiltskin" with spice, featuring a middle-aged heroine, a buttoned-up hero, and an interfering sentient house.

Perfection

Fantastic story! Amazing narrator! From start to finish this book had my attention and not a second less.

Wonderful Performance

I loved this twist on a familiar fairy tale along with Lancaster’s familiar magical world introduced in previous books. The development of the characters and their relationship was very enjoyable. I had a hard time stepping away from it!

Fun magical story.

Enjoyable! A sweet & little bit spicy listen. Loved the house interaction. Male voice was a little awkward at spicy moments. Not bothersome enough not to listen!

Delightful!

What a delightful story! It's charming and funny, the main characters are mature, the romance is believable, and there's a talking cat. The narrator also did a fantastic job. Highly recommended!

What’s in a name?

“Never expect a man to give an objective measurement- he’ll claim a majestic cucumber, even when all he’s got is a modest gherkin.”
This is now my favorite book by this author. It’s charming, cheeky, and a thoroughly, enchantingly, unique twist on Rumpelstiltskin. While this is set in the same universe as the Stariel series, complete with my favorite feature (sentient houses), the romantasy stands alone. There are some steamy bits; they’re not closed door, but they’re as sensual as they are sexual, if that makes sense. Here’s hoping this becomes a series of fairytale twists… and that Ms. Hussey continues with her stellar narration.
