The Charmed: Fae of the Crystal Palace

A spirited young woman’s quest for the extraordinary entangles her in a deadly investigation, where she must unravel murder, life-altering secrets and a forbidden love that transcends realms to save all she holds dear.

Bound by the constraints of Victorian England, Lady Alice Hyde’s future appears secure in a marriage arranged by her uncle, the Viscount. But her heart yearns for more than being a traditional and dutiful wife. Blessed, or cursed as it seems, with a curious mind and a thirst for knowledge, she eagerly anticipates a visit to The Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace.

However, her journey takes a darker twist when she stumbles upon the lifeless body of a young woman. Drawn into the investigation alongside the enigmatic and exasperating Cyan, Alice finds herself on a treacherous path fraught with danger and desire.

Together, Alice and Mr Symond battle not only dark forces but also a growing attraction that defies the chasm between their worlds. 

As they unravel the mystery behind the murder, Alice discovers a whole new realm of terrifying possibilities that leads them to an all-powerful and vengeful fae who threatens both their worlds.

In a mesmerising blend of romance, fantasy and intrigue, The Charmed is a spellbinding tale of love, magic and choosing one’s destiny. Join Alice and Cyan on a heartstilling journey where they discover that even in the darkest of shadows, love can illuminate the way and potentially conquer the impossible.

The Charmed is the first (and a standalone) book in the Fae of the Crystal Palace series and brings together the historical romance of Bridgerton with fae and a sprinkle of Sherlock Holmes’ mystery.

*NOTE: this book is for adults or upper YA readers, featuring mature situations and slow burn romance that leads to mild to moderate steam.
