An enchanting anthology of short tales from the bestselling author of House of Werth and Modern Magick, spanning new worlds, new flights of fancy, and a new cast of quirky, memorable characters to fall in love with.
From the gaslit streets of late 19th century Brighton, to the wind-tossed Yorkshire coast; from the plague-ridden English midlands to the dark streets of modern cities; from the strangely charming town of Hexborough to the dream-laced Silverglen; these ten stories will take you on a whirlwind tour from familiar worlds reinvented to new places wholly imagined.
A Rationally-dressed Brighton coven contends with a freak storm’s effects upon their city’s beloved pier.
A daring thief attempts an impossible heist upon a legendary wizard’s tower, with surprising outcomes.
A long-suffering and highly unusual butler solves the mystery of his employer’s spectacular demise.
An airy cloud-garden wreathed in mists grows rarefied teas – and hatches a priceless drake’s egg.
The weary queen of a faerie kingdom receives succour from a down-to-earth dame and her clever son.
All these and more – each story a fresh, shining nugget of vivid fantasy, laced with Charlotte E. English’s signature wit, warmth, and charm.
