Tithe is fae court, hidden world / portal & forbidden love — sweet (1/5), third-person, ending on a hard-won happy ending. These 12 romantasy read-alikes are ranked by how much they share with it, closest first — each one explained.
Sixteen-year-old Kaye has spent her life trailing her mother's rock band across the country, but when a violent attack forces them back to suburban New Jersey, she discovers that the faeries she played with as a child were real — and that she herself is a pixie changeling placed in the mortal world for reasons unknown. Drawn into a deadly power struggle between rival fae courts, Kaye must outwit ancient, capricious immortals to survive a sacrificial ritual called the Tithe and protect the people she loves.
