An Unreliable Magic by Rin Chupeco

This second book in the A Hundred Names for Magic trilogy is not your
average fairytale. An unforgettable alternative history fairy-tale series from the
author of The Bone Witch about found family, modern day magic, and finding
the place you belong.
It's been six months since the lost city of Avalon was thawed and retaken. And
Alex is doing his best to be a good leader, even though he's not entirely sure
what he's doing. He needs allthe help he can get, which is why his best friend,
Tala, is by his side. Unfortunately, when the Nameless Sword in the stone
appears suddenly in the castle courtyard, it brings a new set of problems.
Avalon custom dictates that anyone is free to try to pull it out, attracting people
from all walks of life and leaving the kingdom vulnerable to attack.
Attempts to infiltrate Avalon begin in the form of mysterious portals that start
appearing without warning bringing nightwalkers,ice maidens, and even a
surly dragon.
When the Snow Queen comes out of the woodwork with an unlikely ally and
attempts to open a portal to the legendary Buyan, a long-lost country whose
life-giving waters could make her even more powerful, Alex, Tala, and their
friends will have to work together to stop her, even after their biggest betrayal
leaves them broken.
Gripping, fantastical, and delightfully funny, AN UNRELIABLE MAGIC is
perfect for readers looking for:
• young adult magic, mythology, and folklore
 • LGBTQ representation
 • diverse characters
 • creative new takes on classic stories
 • fresh and dazzling world building
