A WATERSTONES BEST ROMANTASY PICK OF 2024 __________________ 'A sparkling modern fairytale... like reading champagne' NATASHA PULLEY 'Full of heart and mystery, and bejewelled with tiny glittering details' SAMANTHA SHANNON 'I am in awe of the beauty of Joanne Harris's latest creation' PAT CADIGAN __________________ The wait is over... Million-copy bestseller Joanne Harris is back with her first fantasy novel in 6 years - and this time it's a love story. Orphaned, lonely, and lost in his photography work, Tom has no intention of falling in love. And yet, love finds him in the shape of beautiful Vanessa, who lives a dangerous double life in the heart of London's King's Cross. Tom's pursuit of Vanessa leads him to discover an alternate world, hidden amongst the streets and rooftops of London - and inhabited by strange and colourful beings. In this mysterious realm, two ancient factions - one of night, one of day - have waged war for centuries over a forbidden love and a long-lost prince of sun and starlight. But when Tom finds a secret market that appears only in moonlight, where charms and spells are bought with memories, he starts to wonder whether he's been here before... Romeo and Juliet meets fantasy in this spellbinding modern fairytale of fae courts, forbidden love, magical wars, lost princes, and secret worlds hidden just out of sight in the cavernous shadows of contemporary London - perfect for fans of V.E. Schwab and Samantha Shannon. Praise for Joanne Harris: 'A core fantasy... with a cool twist' STEPHENIE MEYER 'A master of her craft' MATT HAIG 'Exhilarating. Addictive.
