Summary

The hilarious first novel in a cosy and inclusive historical romantasy series by the writer of Horrible Histories Two strangers. Two Londons. Two hearts that won’t stop beating…

In an alternative Elizabethan London, Fang awakes from his death to discover he is not quite human anymore. In fact, despite having somehow acquired the power of immortality, he’s also not quite vampire, zombie, werewolf or any of the other supernatural beings who roam the twin cities of Upper London and its underground counterpart, Deep London. A jaded traveller from the Ming Empire, Fang is desperate to find a way to reverse the spell and get on with being dead when he stumbles upon Lazare de Quitte-Beuf, a theatrical Frenchman who is afflicted with the same mysterious condition.

Thrown together by the curse they share, the two men set out to undo the strange magic that binds them. As they are drawn further into the shadowy world of Deep London, they unearth a dangerous plot which they appear to be right in the middle of… And, surely, when in grave danger, the worst thing they could do would be to fall in love, wouldn’t it?

Only halfway through but it's hilarious

Absolutely ridiculous fantasy, cute and romantic and funny as anything. If it wasn't so unserious the terrible history and continual linguistic anachronisms would be annoying but as far as I'm concerned, it's impossible not to love it. Unless something goes horribly wrong I'm going to be chowing through every book in this series and listening again more than once. Also, a great reading - I've learned to be very wary of authors reading their own books but this is a definite exception. Pure happiness.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
