Cyndi Goodgame

Cyndi Goodgame writes fantasy and paranormal romance for younger readers alongside fiction written for other audiences. Deception launches the Fey Court Trilogy through Grace, an eighteen-year-old who considers herself ordinary despite strange events that have followed her. On Halloween, a disclosure draws Grace into the hidden Fey world and a prophecy tied to an unfinished conflict. Her quiet friend Ian has repeatedly protected her, but he is also the son of the Seelie Court queen, making questions of loyalty inseparable from Grace's growing understanding of herself. The novel appeared in 2012 and received a revision in 2014. It frames the trilogy around a choice between inherited destiny and personal agency instead of treating magical lineage as a settled answer. Goodgame regarded the Fey Court books as her debut sequence, and her later writing ranges across paranormal, fantasy, and romantic modes. Deception establishes both a concealed society and the uncertainty through which Grace must decide where she belongs.
