Synopsis

Mysterious deaths among London's marriageable young ladies draw Abigail Wilder into an investigation her father, England's Lord Sorcier, wants no part of. He believes a dark faerie lord named Longshadow is behind the killings, and Abigail is determined to find out for herself.

Mercy, a street rat and self-taught magician, joins Abigail's search, though her strange and foreboding magic poses its own danger to Abigail's heart. Currently intended as the last book in the Regency Faerie Tales series, Longshadow is a queer faerie tale romance wrapped around a genuine mystery.
