'Whimsical but never frivolous, sweet but not sugary, deeply kind
rather than merely nice. I loved it' Alix E. Harrow It's difficult
to find a husband in Regency England when you're a young lady with
only half a soul. Ever since she was cursed by a faerie, Theodora
Ettings has had no sense of fear or embarrassment - a condition
which makes her prone to accidental scandal. Dora hopes to be a
quiet, sensible wallflower during the London Season - but when the
strange, handsome and utterly uncouth Lord Sorcier discovers her
condition, she is instead drawn into dangerous and peculiar faerie
affairs. If Dora's reputation can survive both her curse and her
sudden connection with the least-liked man in all of high society,
then she may yet reclaim her normal place in the world. . . but the
longer Dora spends with Elias Wilder, the more she begins to
suspect that one may indeed fall in love, even with only half a
soul. Bridgerton meets Howl's Moving Castle in this enchanting
historical fantasy, where the only thing more meddlesome than
faeries is a marriage-minded mother. Pick up HALF A SOUL, and be
stolen away into Olivia Atwater's charming, magical version of
Regency England! Praise for Olivia Atwater: 'A delightful, romantic
romp that also deftly examines class and privilege, Half a Soul is
the definition of a comfort read' Hannah Whitten author of For the
Wolf 'Half a Soul is a perfect historical fantasy romance: warm,
sparkling with magic, dangerous and delightful. I absolutely adored
it.' Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne 'A hugely enjoyable
take on the Regency. . . I wolfed this down with great pleasure.'
KJ Charles 'Smart and subversive, these charming romances will
ignite your heart - and your hope' Shelley Parker-Chan, author of
She Who Became the Sun 'Whimsical, witty, and brimming over with
charm. . . Dora and the Lord Sorcier have a place amongst my
favourite fantasy romance couples ever' India Holton, author of The
Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels 'Half a Soul is exactly the
comfort read we all need. This winsome, whimsical fantasy romance
has much to say about privilege, justice, and the power of empathy,
even as it sweeps you off your feet in the swooniest way possible'
Megan Bannen, author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy

'A delightful, romantic romp. . . the definition of a comfort read'
Hannah Whitten on Half a Soul Faerie godfathers are supposed to
help young ladies find love. Unfortunately, no one told Lord
Blackthorn that. Effie has most inconveniently fallen in love with
the dashing Mr Benedict Ashbrooke. There's only one problem; Effie
is a housemaid, and a housemaid cannot marry a gentleman. It seems
that Effie is out of luck until she stumbles into the faerie realm
of Lord Blackthorn, who is only too eager to help Effie win Mr
Ashbrooke's heart. All he asks in return is that Effie sew ten
thousand stitches onto his favourite jacket. Effie has heard
rumours about what happens to those who accept help from faeries,
but life as a maid at Hartfield is so awful that she is willing to
risk even her immortal soul for a chance at something better. Now,
she has one hundred days - and ten thousand stitches - to make Mr
Ashbrooke fall in love and propose. . . if Lord Blackthorn doesn't
wreck things by accident, that is. From the author of HALF A SOUL
comes a whimsical faerie tale set in a magical version of Regency
England, with an enchanting Cinderella twist. Praise for Olivia
Atwater: 'A hugely enjoyable take on the Regency. . . I wolfed this
down with great pleasure.' KJ Charles on Half a Soul 'Half a Soul
is the perfect balm for these bad times. It's whimsical but never
frivolous, sweet but not sugary, deeply kind rather than merely
nice. I loved it' Alix E. Harrow on Half a Soul 'A perfect

and the Regency fantasy genre, with plenty of humour and heart. I
couldn't put it down.' Heather Fawcett, author of Emily Wilde's

'Smart and subversive, these charming romances will ignite your
heart - and your hope' Shelley Parker-Chan, author of She Who
Became the Sun Proper Regency ladies are not supposed to become
magicians - but Miss Abigail Wilder is far from proper. The
marriageable young ladies of London are dying mysteriously, and
Abigail Wilder intends to discover why. Abigail's father, the Lord
Sorcier of England, believes that a dark lord of faerie is involved
- but while Abigail is willing to match her magic against Lord
Longshadow, neither her father nor high society believe that she is
capable of doing so. Thankfully, Abigail is not the only one
investigating the terrible events in London. Mercy, a street rat
and self-taught magician, insists on joining Abigail to unravel the
mystery. But while Mercy's own magic is strange and foreboding, she
may well pose an even greater danger to Abigail's heart. From the
author of HALF A SOUL comes a queer faerie tale romance full of
love and defiant hope. Pick up LONGSHADOW, and return once more to
Olivia Atwater's charming, magical version of Regency England.
