'shades of Sarah Waters...irresistible' - The Guardian 'I would
like to make myself the heroine of this story - an innocent victim
led astray. But alas sir, I would be lying...' London, 1756: In
Newgate prison, Tully Truegood awaits trial. Her fate hanging in
the balance, she tells her life-story. It's a tale that takes her
from skivvy in the back streets of London, to conjuror's assistant,
to celebrated courtesan at her stepmother's Fairy House, the
notorious house of ill-repute where decadent excess is a must...
Tully was once the talk of the town. Now, with the best seats at
Newgate already sold in anticipation of her execution, her only
chance of survival is to get her story to the one person who can
help her avoid the gallows. She is Tully Truegood. Orphan, whore,
magician's apprentice. Murderer? A compelling mix of bawdy romp and
magical realism.' -Sarra Manning, Red magazine
