Love Is A Fantasy

Go on an epic journey with renowned authors Adrienne Tooley (The Second Son), Ava Reid (A Study in Drowning), Chloe Gong (Foul Heart Huntsman), and Jordan Ifueko (The Maid and the Crocodile) as they discuss the elements that make up a thrilling and swoon-worthy romantasy novel–from a sapphic romance to a gothic Welsh fantasy to a Shakespeare retelling set in 1930’s Shanghai and finally a West African tale about a maid who can alter fates. Moderated by Maggie Lehrman, Associate Publisher of Abrams Children’s Books.
