New titles for the Enchantée series in the US!
Big news on Bastille Day!
✨
First, a little backstory. When I started querying agents three years ago *today,* the working title for my manuscript was Enchantée, and to me it captured many crucial aspects of the story. But after the book was published, and as I wrote (and rewrote!) the sequel, my idea of these books began to change. I’d always known the general arc of Camille’s journey, but the more finished the series became, the more I wondered if the titles—especially Liberté—did it justice.
✨
Fast forward to this spring when, in the midst of the pandemic, my publisher asked if I’d be willing to change the titles. It felt like a brush with fate, a chance for reinvention. But friends, excited as I was, I was also worried (still am, to be honest). I’d never heard of this happening before. How would the word get out? Wouldn’t people be confused? What would happen???
✨
But in my heart I knew I owed it to these stories to try. Words are my magic, and now that I understood this series in a new way, surely I could conjure up a new pair of titles. And I did. They are miniature versions of Camille’s story: from her beginnings as an orphan who can work magic from sorrow and who becomes enchanted by the dangerous glitter and glamor of Versailles, to a girl who must discover who she truly is when everything—her city, the revolution, and even love— begins to burn. I hope you like these titles as much as I do!

Details: The US hardcover edition of the first book will remain as Enchantée. All That Glitters will be the title for the US paperback as well as the ebook. The book formerly known as Liberté is now Everything That Burns, which feels extremely right now *and* very 1789. For for UK readers, the first book will remain as Enchantée; the cover and title of the sequel should be ready to reveal soon!
