Spooky Season is Officially Here and so is A Child of the Changeling (with a giveaway)!

Published on October 7, 2025October 7, 2025 by Hannah GreentreeLeave a comment

Available NOW in our shop and everywhere books are sold! But remember, the exclusive edition with the art on the hardcase and bonus chapter is only available from our shop!

E-book readers, the Kindle version is now available on Amazon. For our audiobook listeners, this one will be delayed, but it is currently in production… featuring a brand-new narrator! More details coming on that soon!

Only three witches remain, and they are desperate to survive.

A decade has passed since The Numina were released from The Between. And despite all efforts, the lands are not only crawling with mutated bogies, but also a mysterious, witch-borne illness called the Stygian Brume. If these problems were not enough, an unexpected darkness enters the glade, one that tears Sparrow and Rush’s family apart. Now, confronted with unspeakable loss, their eldest children are forced to retrace not only the steps of their parents before them, but their aunts as well.

Join the changeling trio, Swan, Kestrel, and Starling, as they revisit old ghosts and open older wounds by unraveling a new prophecy—one that could predict the worst betrayal—all in the hopes of saving their family and ridding the world of the last witches once and for all.

A haunting journey. A race against time. A prophecy fulfilled.

A Child of the Changeling, the third book in McKenzie Catron’s A Numina Parable series, brings back all your favorite characters from the first two books, and more. Dive into a perilous, autumn quest that features disability, mental health, and chronic illness representation, heartfelt and heart-wrenching sibling relationships, monsters, and magic. This new, all-or-nothing fantasy adventure is reminiscent of the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales and European folklore.

Reminder!

All books are now printed to order and shipped directly to you from the printer.

If you were one of the first 45 to preorder, your preorder goodies are being sent via regular mail (untracked), so they should arrive in the coming days (or weeks, if you’re an international customer).

Important Shop Update!

We are changing how our books are shipped!

If you’ve been with us for a while, you know we value our customers and see you all as so much more than just an order number. However, we have been blessed to have grown so much over the past few years, and with growth must come changes. One of those changes is that our continuously growing inventory can’t continue to sit at our shop manager’s house waiting to be purchased.

In order to best serve our faithful customers, all books will now be printed to order and shipped directly to you from the printer.

So what about preorders? Not to worry – you’ll still receive your preorder goodies. They’ll just be packed and sent separately by our shop manager.

But that means moving forward, signed bookplates will only be free with the purchase of a preorder. After the book’s publication date, bookplates will be available for purchase from our website, if stock remains.

As always, we are so grateful to you, our Whimsies, because without you, none of this would exist.

Don’t forget we have a raffle going on!

All the details, including a list of prizes and how to enter, can be found here. Raffle ends on July 11th, so get your entries in!

PHEW!! That was a long one!

But if you made it this far, not only are we sooo grateful, but we want to reward you with a little giveaway! Click HERE to enter to win a full hardcover set of the Maiden Ship trilogy!

Okay, one more of McKenzie’s complete series… Don’t they look AMAZING together? We cannot wait to have the trilogy side-by-side on the shelf!

COVER REVEAL & GIVEAWAY!!

Cover Reveal & Giveaway for

A Goblin of the Glade

HELLO MY WHIMSIES!!!

So excited to share this cover reveal with you all. Megan McCullough designed the cover and we are so thrilled with how it turned out! She did a beautiful job. <3

A Goblin of the Glade is now available for preorder HERE in my shop in paperback, hardback, and jacketed exclusive edition. The first 200 orders will receive, for free, all the preorder incentive goodies you see pictured below. This book is also available for preorder in kindle format on Amazon. (Please note: preorder goodies are not included with purchases through Amazon.) Preorder goodies consist of two postcard artworks by yours truly, a bookmark featuring artwork from Hillary Bardin, a bird painting done by McKenzie Catron, and a signed bookplate from McKenzie as well.

Here’s my (Micheline) review of AGOTG:

Ever wonder how you’ll heal, or how you’ll ever recover from a past so traumatizing that it haunts you by day and night?

Well, this is exactly what Primrose, Poppy, and Posy, personally endure as they embark upon a predestined quest to save their darkening world. The journey is harrowing, the bogeymen even more so, but while these sisters face the past to secure a future for all, they might just find that healing comes in the form of each other.

This action packed, Grimm-style fairytale is everything you want to read this Christmas. This book is about family, unconventional love stories, and facing the darkness together.

THE BOOK BLURB:

Ten years have passed, but neither Primrose nor her sisters, Poppy and Posy, can shake the belladonna-soaked trauma of their childhood. Though the triplets have grown and are no longer captive, the memory of Black Annis’s iron talons and needle teeth still linger.

While Posy finds reprieve in studying with the Elder Mother and Poppy drowns her mental wounds in song and service, Primrose copes by traveling wherever the wind takes her. Much like her beloved half-brother Rush used to, she finds solace in seeking new havens. However, news of Sparrow’s dying mother draws Primrose home again, and she resolves to stay in the glade to spend one last Christmastide with the only woman she’s ever called mother.

That is until a shadowy Pooka appears with a message tangled in Fate’s red thread: a prophecy from the fabled Numina that threatens to upend the family all over again.

With only the suspicious, dark Pooka as their guide, the triplets must follow the Numina’s destined trail to a perilous mountain haunted by trickster spirits. But when their dubious quest delivers them into the claws of the infamous witch Baba Yaga, the goblin sisters are forced to face their childhood nightmares or let the world, and those they love, be forever consumed by darkness.

A Goblin of the Glade, the second book in McKenzie Catron’s “A Numina Parable” series, returns to all the beloved characters of the first book, and then some. Embark on a journey filled with sisterly love and unique companionship in this new high-stakes fantasy adventure reminiscent of Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales and European folklore.
