The Fairy's Tale has been described as Cinderella meets 1984. Ænathlin, the last surviving city of the fae, is facing civil war. Ruled by the sinister, authoritarian General Administration, for hundreds of years the city has managed to stave off disaster by maintaining strict control over the lives of its inhabitants. And, while no-one is exactly happy about the GenAm's methods of governance, most have learnt to accept it in exchange for stability. That is, until recently. With resources dwindling and the population growing, Ænathlin is on a knife-edge. The city, unable to support itself, steals goods from the human world via the use of Mirrors, ancient pathways between worlds. The Mirrors have for hundreds of years run on belief - belief created and harvested by the telling of stories. Only now the Mirrors are breaking, and no one knows why. And so we meet Bea, a cabbage fairy and wannabe godmother. Bea is determined to become the first fairy to be an official godmother (Fiction Management Executive), and has managed to wrangle her way into running an official - albeit small - GenAm plot. With the Mirrors breaking and the city in desperate need of stories, this is her chance to prove what she can do. However, once she actually starts work on her story, she uncovers a terrible secret and is forced to make an impossible choice: in order to do what's right, she must change the plot - a crime so serious she would face the full fury of the GenAm and its monstrous, three-headed Beast... Author's Note: Amazon will only allow me to publish 10% of my novel on other sites, so I have put the first few chapters here.
