“When Wendy Everly was six years old, her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to kill her. Eleven years later, Wendy discovers her mother might have been right. She’s not the person she’s always believed herself to be, and her whole life begins to unravel—all because of Finn Holmes.”
A changeling is, simply, a child switched at birth with another child. The practice dates back to pre-Christian times and spans cultures from Western Europe to Egypt. It is most commonly practiced among trolls, elves, fairies, and pixies, and while the specifics of the practice differ, the basics are the same.
