Fancy

by Genevieve Davis

No man who met the raven-haired ward of Sir Henry Seldon would soon forget her wayward beauty or the fragile innocence that made her unique.

Few would know the mystery of her birth, or of the long journey that took Fancy, love child of the aristocracy from squalid workhouse to convent walls, from imprisonment in a brothel to the diamond-bedecked heights of Victorian society... and into the arms of Lord Harcourt, renegade peer of the realm. But the glittering world in which Fancy found her happiness was as treacherous as London's gaslit streets, and no ordinary love could survive its smiling deceptions.

About the author

When I was a child, I could do Magic. I felt powerful, confident, immortal, with an underlying sense of goodness, positivity and an innate power to affect everything around me. At some point, and for the next 30 years, I forgot all about Magic. I forgot how to do it.

And my life became dull, poor and ordinary.

Now, having rekindled the fire of Magic once again, I have successfully used it to turn my entire life around in an almost miraculous fashion. In my books, I show you how to do the same.

I'm British, down to earth, straightforward and not at all your usual paragon of spiritual loveliness. I drink too much coffee, eat too much of everything and laugh at rude jokes.

I also love animals as much as people, even the rats...
