Cinero, born in a body that isn't his and orphan of a war he barely remembers, is sent out to find a handsome, sleeping Prince. Everything seems to be going well until he actually succeeds. A mysterious, powerful evil awakens but perhaps more importantly, so does an exceedingly helpful dryad named Aesling, who takes up residence in his - her?! - head and immediately offers some well-needed physical changes to the repressed Cinero.
Now going by Vera, with a body that fits her much better, and with the help of the Prince and the dryad, this young trans girl has to find her friends, stop the evil, and try to figure out how two people living in one body can both be in love with the same person. Through Verdant Mirrors is a low-magic, dark fantasy novel for fans of Shadow and Bone looking for literature starring trans and queer characters.
