Today’s feature:  £1.53 (fantasy) “The Last Stitch (The Chronicles of Eirie)” by Prue Batten

Amongst the embroidery on a coveted gown, there is a secret story that is tragic and shocking in its scope. A story of revenge, of friendships lost, of love and the cruel machinations of enchanted Others who weave in and out of mortal lives like a needle through fabric.

The Last Stitch is the conclusion to the story begun in The Stumpwork Robe.

Considered to be a cross between Neil Gaiman’s Stardust and John Crowley’s Little Big, the novels reveal the dark side of the Fey, a side that gives a new meaning to the word ‘fairytale’.
