the unputdownable Elizabethan romantasy

When two men are thrown together by the curse of immortality in a magical version of Elizabethan London, they are drawn into a dark plot that threatens to upend the world as they know it, all the while trying not to fall in love.

'The sort of story you want to climb inside so you can hang out with all the characters. Hilarious, warm and kind!' Louie Stowell, author of the Loki series 

In a dark alleyway in an alternative Elizabethan London, Fang's heart stops. Moments later, it magically restarts again. A grumpy traveller from the Ming empire, Fang is disappointed to discover that not only is he still alive, but he's also become another creature entirely: an immortal. The first of his kind.

That is until he meets Lazare de Quitte-Beuf, an annoyingly cheerful – and undeniably handsome – Frenchman who shares the same curse. But in a world where immortality is a coveted commodity, Fang and Lazare quickly realise that eternal life is far from a blessing. With both of their futures at risk, will they ever admit that they have finally found something – or someone – to live for?
