I feared this was the best of times; I hoped it could not get any worse. The faeries stole Sydney Carton as a child, and made him a mortal servant of the Faery Realm. Now, he has a rare opportunity for revenge against the fae and Charles Darnay, the changeling left in his stead. It will take magic and cunning - cold iron and Realm silver - to hide his intentions from humans and fae and bring his plans to fruition. Shuttling between London and Paris during the Reign of Terror, generations of violence-begetting-violence lead him to a heartbreaking choice in the shadow of the guillotine.
H. G. PARRY (she/her) is the author of several books including The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep, the Shadow Histories duology, and The Magician's Daughter. She holds a PhD in English Literature from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, and divides her time between her tiny Wellington flat and a house on the Kapiti Coast where she lives with her sister and a menagerie of small animals.
