Along with Ben and the rest of their ragtag group of allies - Selkie's ogre aunts; a wizard named Will; Ben's cousin Safford; and Kelsey, Selkie's best friend - Selkie is ready to embrace her destiny and bring the Court down. Until she hears the rest of her prophecy: Benedict le Fay will betray you, and then he will die.
"The prophecy that came about in The Girl Who Never Was (2014) is back with a vengeance...political intrigue and magical quest are leavened by some well-timed humor, which makes for a fun read. Dorset sticks to some faerie-story traditions ("There's power in a name," says Selkie, early on), and these details add to the mythic, engrossing atmosphere." - Booklist
"Fans of all thing fae are in for a treat with this follow-up to The Girl Who Never Was...in this rich and vivid sequel, Selkie must put an end to the machinations of her own mother and the Seelie Court-or risk dying. " - School Library Journal
"With spot-on humour, Wonderland-esque logic, and magical twists and turns, Skylar Dorset's The Boy with the Hidden Name is an example of YA fiction at its best." - 21st Century Once Upon a Time
"Dorset has a way of making fantasy blend easily into reality. She seduces readers with her brilliantly crafted worlds and loveable characters. She describes everything so vividly you can almost feel in your senses exactly what the characters are experiencing...These books blended together my favourite genres and created a whirlwind rind of perfection." - Little Miss Trainwreck
"Swoon! Just as gorgeous and magical as the first book." - Imperial Beach Teen

"Every book about faerie folks involves feasts and courts and glamours, royalty and danger. You'll find them all in this exciting and fun Young Adult story THE BOY WITH THE HIDDEN NAME by Skylar Dorset." - Fresh Fiction
"Skylar Dorset's debut series, Otherworld, is an astoundingly well-done urban fantasy in the style of Neverworld and Daughter of Smoke & Bone. If you're looking to get swept up in a world-spanning fantasy adventure, check out the Otherworld series!" - YA Books Central
