A former changeling must return to the land of the Fae to right a bargain that's gone terribly wrong in this delightful cozy fantasy debut packed full of charm, adventure, romance and heart.

When Poppy Hill was a child she was stolen from her family's Montana homestead and taken to the land of the fae, where she spent more than a century as a cook in the Wild King's castle. Now back in the human world, she works for a company that brokers fairy bargains, looking for loopholes in their contracts.

Then a bargain that Poppy is negotiating goes disastrously wrong and she has to return to the world she grew up in to try to rectify her mistake, facing danger, intrigue and a pesky ex-boyfriend along the way.

  • "The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains snatches you away into a world of enchanted contracts, faerie intrigue, and French toast that you'll never want to come back from." 
    Molly O'Neill, author of Greenteeth
  • "The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains is a brilliant, tongue-in-cheek weaving of folklore and the hell of modern bureaucracy, combined with a twisty adventure and a dash of romance. An unflinching rendition of fae as they should be written—beautiful, bizarre, cruel, and always terrifying. McCarty is a talent!" 
    Brigitte Knightly, author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy
  • "With a clever, determined heroine and a cast of devious, uncanny fairies, The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains is as irresistible as fae fruit—sharp, unforgettable, and utterly addictive." 
    Lyra Selene, author of A Feather So Black
  • "As irresistible as a fairy bargain, this book is riveting, magical, and wonderful! I absolutely loved it!" 
    Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times–bestselling author of The Spellshop
  • “A fresh, unexpected foray into the lands of Faerie, The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains is as funny and witty as it is enchanting. Poppy Hill is a first-class heroine–full of sharp edges and quiet resolve–and her journeys through modern bureaucracy and fantastical fae courts alike are utterly enthralling.” 
    Julie Leong, author of The Teller of Small Fortunes
  • “Come for the fascinating world of corporate-brokered fairy bargains—stay for the adventure, intrigue, and betrayal! With a relatable mortal protagonist way over her head in a fairy realm as compelling as it is dangerous, this book casts an entrancing glamour!” 
    Melissa Caruso, author of The Last Hour Between Worlds
