COVER REVEAL!!! (Patreon)

Darling is a dark and twisted faerie tale retelling of Peter Pan, told from Wendy's point of view.

At the moment I'm looking tentatively at the 25th of September for release.

Here is the (current) blurb.

When Wendy decided to return home from Neverland she didn’t realize moving out of the nursery was only the beginning. After being told it’s time to “grow up”, she’s locked into volunteer work with her mother, where she must learn the role of a proper lady by helping those less fortunate in the Stephney Causeway Orphanage. 

Wendy never expected to find kindred souls in the tattered waifs. One of the older boys, Thomas confides in her: the orphanage runs a thieving ring responsible for more than one cold corpse no one else would miss. Wendy entrusts him in turn with the knowledge that Neverland is real, and they devise a plan to ferry the misused orphans to sanctuary. Wendy must creep out of the house at odd hours, navigate the streets of London in the twilight, and avoid many a footman’s patrol on the way to the meeting point. 

But when she’s confronted by an arranged marriage that will bring her family great fortune, Wendy’s carefully constructed life begins to unravel. Cracks appear in Neverland that weren’t there before and the chance to return dwindles. Wendy must figure out just how to get them to Neverland before it disappears forever.
