A far better thing

A far better thing

HG Parry
Book - 2025

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell 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. 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.
