About the Book
A Far Better Thing
JONATHAN STRANGE & MR NORELL meets A TALE OF TWO CITIES in H. G. Parry’s A FAR BETTER THING, a heart-rending fantasy of faery revenge set during the French Revolution.
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.
