Victorian missionaries travel into the heart of the newly discovered lands of the Fae, in a stunningly original fantasy that mixes Crimson Peak with Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell


Catherine Helstone’s brother, Laon, has disappeared in Arcadia, legendary land of the magical Fae. Desperate for news of him, she makes the perilous journey, only to find herself alone and isolated in the sinister house of Gethsemane.
 
At last, there comes news: her beloved brother is riding to be reunited with her soon—but the Queen of the Fae and her insane court are hard on his heels.
