Strangeness And Charm / Mike Shevdon
“Mike Shevdon strikes sparks from the flinty core of English folklore, as a hero every reader can relate to finds he’s part of an incredible and scarily believable parallel realm. If you’ve been thinking urban fantasy has nothing fresh to offer, think again.”
- Juliet E. McKenna, author of the Lescari Revolution series
“The pacing is spot-on, the characters engaging, and the world fits together beautifully
to create a London that ought to be.”
- C.E. Murphy
About the Book:
The Courts of the Feyre, Vol III
Alex has been saved from the fate that awaited her in Bedlam, but in freeing her, Niall has released others of their kind into the population. Now, as Warder, he must find them and persuade them to swap their new-found liberty for security in the courts – but is the price of sanctuary to swap one cage for another?

“Descriptive, well thought out and historically accurate, I found this a great read. The mechanisms for using magic by the Fey made sense and I highly recommend this book.”
