Changelings never do. The child of a human mother and a faery father, he is despised by both his races. But one day Bartholomew suddenly finds himself at the centre of a web of intrigue and danger that spans the entire country.

Time and place: Alternative dimension England where steampower, clockwork, magic, magical creatures and humans share an uneasy existence.



Cut off from their own world, most of the Fay live in squalor and are treated in equal measure with of loathing and fascination by humans. And now changeling children (half faery half human)are disappearing.



The author is young and he has quite an imagination. Can't wait to see what happens next!
