Oh.My.Days.
How good does this look?
Incoming novel, ‘‘The True Queen’ by Zen Cho has pinged my bookish radar off the charts!
Available in Hardback from 21st March 2019 where all good books are sold….
A magical adventure set in Regency London, fairyland and an enchanted island: war looms in the lands of fairy as two sisters are separated, plots thicken and there are rumours of a new contender for fairy’s throne.
Fairyland’s future lies in doubt . . .
The enchanted island of Janda Baik, in the Malay Archipelago, has long been home to witches. And Muna and her sister Sakti wake on its shores under a curse, which has stolen away their memories. Their only hope of salvation lies in distant Britain, where the Sorceress Royal runs a controversial academy for female magicians. But the pair travel via the formidable Fairy Queen’s realm, where Sakti simply disappears.
To save her sister, Muna must learn to navigate Regency London’s high society and trick the English into believing she’s a magical prodigy. But when the Sorceress Royal’s friends become accidentally embroiled in a plot – involving the Fairy Queen’s contentious succession – Muna is drawn right in. She must also find Sakti, break their curse and somehow stay out of trouble. But if fairyland’s true queen does finally return, trouble may find her first…
The True Queen is Zen Cho’s spellbinding second book, set in the same world as her award-winning novel, Sorcerer to the Crown, that also reads as a standalone. Perfect for fans of Georgette Heyer and Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell – with a swirl of Malay mythology.
Book Review will be imminent, as soon as I can read it, but in the meantime give Zen a cheery ‘Hello!’ via Social Media!
