Queen of Faces

What if you could just swap your old body for a new one? In Anabelle Gage’s world of Caimor, people can do that, but it’s expensive. Ana’s body –her chassis– is failing her, and using her magic is the last thing she wants to do to illegally obtain a new one, but she must live. This one misdeed will entrap her in a web of IOUs, but it will push her to develop more charisma and confidence, something that her own family did nothing to instill. Periodically, chapters will be told from the point of view of other people in Ana’s life, with more chapters voiced by Wes/Nell, her trainer/possible romantic interest/nemesis. The real focus of the storyline is that of the corrupt society she lives in, not the trans romances that are developing. In fact, the body-swapping is a simple and effective way to represent the fact that body type does not control gender. It is not surprising that the book has received so many high reviews, with anticipation for the sequel in early 2027.
