Miss Ellerby and the Ferryman (Paperback)

Isabel Ellerby has always known her duty: marry well, marry soon, marry whoever her parents choose. Then the Faerie Rade sweeps through town, and duty stops being simple.

Isabel has modest wealth, impeccable respectability, and a future already decided for her. If the thought of a stranger for a husband sinks her heart a little, well — she knows better than to let it show.

Then the Rade comes, and everything after is different. She meets the Ferryman of Aylfenhame, bound by an ancient curse that’s left him forgotten and condemned. Isabel doesn’t yet know she carries a hereditary witch’s gift — the one thing that might be strong enough to break it. But unraveling the Ferryman’s curse means unraveling the safe, ordinary life she was always meant to have.

Can a properly brought-up young lady really throw caution to the wind, and follow her heart instead of her duty?

Fantasy of manners meets Regency love story, in a dreamy fairytale of courage and unlooked-for love.
