'AN IMMERSIVE DREAM OF A READ' KALIE REID
'A FINE ACHIEVEMENT OF IMAGINATION AND STORYTELLING' SIMON SCARROW
An electrifying dark academia fantasy set in an alternate Britain from an exciting new voice in fantasy.
Oxford, 1830.
London is a smouldering ruin.
Tension is rising between humans and fae.
And a red star burns overhead.
War has left Britain broken and bleeding. The Industrial Revolution has driven the fae courts into the light. Oxford, now the capital, is a city on the brink, haunted by whispers of apocalypse.
Aria came to study magick under the brilliant Professor Ashcroft. But her hunger for knowledge is dangerous, and her power even more so. When attacks erupt across the city, Aria and Ashcroft are pulled into a conspiracy that could shatter the fragile peace between human and fae, and unleash a dark magick which could bring the country to its knees.
Aria's powers may be the kingdom's last hope . . . or its ruin.
The first book in a dark, atmospheric trilogy perfect for fans of Babel, Blood Over Bright Haven and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.©2027 Jamie Cass (P)2027 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

Reviews
A great debut. Rich and imaginative (Anthony Horowitz, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Alex Rider series and the Hawthorne & Horowitz series.)
A fine achievement of the imagination and storytelling (Simon Scarrow, Sunday Times bestselling author of Under the Eagle, Revenge of Rome and A Death in Berlin.)
Effortlessly blending the historical and the fantastical, Starfall is an immersive dream of a read. I was completely swept away by Aria's resourcefulness and mettle, and drawn into the endlessly atmospheric and gritty England of the mid-nineteenth century, full of mythical creatures and dark magick. A standout start to a trilogy that left me eager for the next instalment (Kalie Reid, author of The Sacred Space Between)
A dark academia set in a historically reimagined Oxford. With a spirited young woman who doesn't follow the rules as the main character, who is an outsider, endlessly curious, and gets drawn into a complex investigation of a multifaceted conspiracy. Of course, I loved it! (Marisa Linton, author of Circle of Shadows and The Binding Spell)
Explore an Oxford brimming with magic in Jamie Cass's intricate and many-layered debutStarfall, where humans and fae and all manners of fantastical creatures collide within a fascinating alternative history of the Napoleonic Wars. Readers eager for a new twist on classic fantasies such as Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell will enjoy the heart-pounding beginning of Aria's story as she discovers elemental magic, her own fortitude, and Oxford's dark underbelly. (Thea Liu, author of Delicious Minds)
