The Mortal Follies series by Alexis Hall reimagines Regency England as a place where fairy magic exists alongside ballrooms and social maneuvering. Mortal Follies (2023) follows a young woman who has been cursed and must enlist help to break the spell, with romance developing along the way. The story is narrated by a fairy observer, giving it a distinctive tone.
Confounding Oaths (2024) continues in the same world with a new story. Both books blend historical fiction, fantasy, and queer romance in a way that fans of Susanna Clarke and Georgette Heyer might enjoy.
