"Changelings" is a speculative-fiction category rooted in folklore and myth where a person — usually a child or someone on the margins of society — is replaced, transformed, or otherwise altered by anotherworldly forces (fae, spirits, shapeshifters, aliens, magic). These books explore identity, belonging, and the boundary between human and other through narratives of swapping, hidden lineage, metamorphosis, and the search for self or lost kin; they can be dark and uncanny, wistful and fairy-tale-like, or modern and urban-fantasy in tone. Common motifs include bargains and bargains-gone-wrong, secret histories, liminal places and times, the struggle to reclaim a stolen life or to accept a new one, and moral ambiguity around what it means to be "human." Suitable for YA and adult readers, the genre often functions as coming-of-age fiction, family drama, or eerie literary fantasy, and it frequently interrogates otherness, assimilation, and what we owe to blood, identity, and community.
