About In Other Lands

Elliott, a snarky teenager recruited to a border camp between the human world and a magical one, refuses every heroic expectation and writes protest letters instead. Brennan writes a love letter to fantasy tropes while cheerfully subverting all of them — a cozy adventure about a deeply uncool protagonist learning to be loved. Smart, funny, and genuinely warm.
