Castle Auburn
Sharon Shinn · 1 novel · 1 novella · 2001–2009
Sharon Shinn's Summers at Castle Auburn follows Coriel, a girl who spends her summers at her half-sister's royal household and only gradually recognizes the human cost behind the kingdom's practice of enslaving the aliora, a fae-like people, for entertainment and service. Gold continues years later as an adult Coriel confronts the consequences of choices made in the first book. Shinn uses the fantasy trappings as a vehicle for a coming-of-age reckoning with inherited privilege.
