Traitor, the final book of The Change, is out now! FINALLY. You can buy an ebook or a lovely print version. It has maps and a cast of characters. The earlier books also have updated editions with maps and casts of characters. It's available everywhere books are sold.
This has been such a long, strange journey, from an agent refusing to represent the book unless we made a gay character straight to us launching Yes Gay YA in response, to my health problems and Sherwood's health problems delaying the fourth book, to us getting 2/3rds through it two weeks before a global pandemic put it on hold again, to the entire landscape of YA changing so queer characters are not an anomaly anymore, to a huge push to ban books and outlaw even mentioning the existence of of queer people in schools.
We originally wrote the book so teenagers who never see themselves represented in fun adventure fiction would get to do so. The books not existing isn't quite as much of a problem anymore - now the problem is more being able to access the books that do exist. But I hope that teenagers (and younger kids, and adults) will still see themselves, or just enjoy the read. And for everyone who's been waiting to see if Felicité will ever [spoiler], this is for you.
If you read it, please review it and/or the other books in the series wherever you review books. It's been such a long time that the whole series has dropped out of sight, and I'd like people to find out that the last book is finally available.
