Marie Brennan - A Star Shall Fall

“Stunningly conceived and exquisitely achieved.”

TITANBOOKS.COM

The year is 1639, and King Charles I and Parliament vie for power, fighting one another with politics and armies alike. Below the streets of London, the faerie court has enemies of its own. The old ways are breaking down, and no one knows what will take their place. A greater threat is growing, and under a new king, mortal and fae will have to lay aside the differences that divide them, and fight together for the survival of London itself…

“You will swallow this book whole, wishing it would never end.”

“Compelling and well-plotted… paint[s] a seventeenth-century London with vivid colours.”

Everyone knows Isabella, Lady Trent, to be the world’s preeminent dragon naturalist. Here at last, in her own words, is the true story of a pioneering spirit who risked her reputation, prospects, and her life to satisfy scientific curiosity; of how she sought true love despite her lamentable eccentricities; and of her thrilling expedition to the mountains of Vystrana, where she made discoveries that would change the world…

“Fans of fantasy, science, and history will adore this rich and absorbing tale of discovery.”

“Though dragons may not exist in our own world’s history, it is certain that the struggles of women like Trent do, and Brennan captures both with equal elegance in this first volume in the memoirs of Lady Trent.”

“Courageous, intelligent and determined Isabella’s account is colorful, vigorous and absorbing…”

“Her Ladyship is a determined and canny woman in search of dragons—I wholeheartedly approve!”

“One of my favourite books of the year.”

“I found the book completely engrossing, and I can’t wait for the next installment.”

Beneath London, the fae in the Onyx Court are under siege, the iron of the underground railway destroying their home of three centuries. Many flee to the countryside. Those who stay have one goal: to find safety in a city that does not welcome them. But what price will the mortals of London pay for that safety?
