Wyatt, an angry transmasc teen witch escapes from his former life as the promised bride of a Fairy prince and finds a new family in the human world - until aforementioned prince shows up at his new home, gets skewered by some garden shears, and takes our furious protagonist back to Fairy. There are a few complications in this plan, beginning with the fact that Wyatt left the place in flames when he escaped, and his utter distaste for all things magical results in being embroiled in a scheme or two.
This book was absolutely amazing and I can't recommend it enough. Angry trans guy, arranged marriage trope (that somehow manages to not be transphobic), found family, and arson. What more could you want?
