The Beast of Talesend

Private eye Nick Beasley lives in a world where fairy tales ended a long time ago - where zeppelins now soar the skies instead of dragons, and where the first automobiles have taken the place of flying carpets. He's made a name for himself across the Afterlands by debunking fake magicians and exposing fraudulent monsters. This is the modern age, after all. Magic and monsters are long gone.

At least, that's what Nick believes. Until he gets magically transformed into a monster, that is.

The only person who may be able to help Nick is Lady Cordelia Beaumont, one of the last enchantresses in the Afterlands. But in order for her to cure him, they'll have to retrieve a powerful artifact from a ruthless crime lord - who is also Cordelia's father.

The fate of the Afterlands lies in the hands of a runaway enchantress and a monstrous ex-detective. What could possibly go wrong?

Perfect for fans of Doctor Who, Once Upon A Time, Indiana Jones, or The Dresden Files, the Beaumont and Beasley series features high adventure in a world where fairy tales are history.
