Charming 2: Happily Never After: The new Danny Charming Urban Fantasy from the New York Times #1 Bestseller

“Tony Lee is one of the best story-tellers working today” — Michael Moorcock

Sometimes getting what you always wanted is the worst thing that could happen to you.

After the events of Last Prince Standing, Danny Charming, the last of his line and current wielder of the title “Prince” Charming thought he’d finally got the hang of not dying horribly.

He was wrong. Spectacularly wrong.

When Danny’s “simple” artifact recovery mission goes sideways – thanks to a possessed Victorian lamp that grants wishes with typically malicious Faerie tale logic – he discovers that some genies are better left in their bottles. Especially when they decide to “help” by showing Danny exactly what his life could have been like.

What if he’d never been born? What if Henry had lived? What if Danny had been the chosen firstborn Prince Charming from the start instead of the disappointing spare?

Suddenly Danny’s bouncing between alternate versions of London where everything he thought he knew is wrong. In one world, he doesn’t exist and Queen Mab rules through endless winter. In another, Henry’s alive but broken, carrying scars from battles Danny never had to fight. And in a third, Danny’s the perfect Prince Charming he always felt he should be—which turns out to be absolutely terrifying.

The problem? The lamp’s magic is unraveling reality, and Danny has to choose which world gets to be real. But every choice damns someone he cares about. Save Henry and watch Queen Mab freeze London solid. Save London and condemn his brother to a living hell. Be the perfect Prince and lose everything that makes him… him.

With Lady Fenrys questioning her centuries-old loyalty, Detective Inspector Thorne getting dangerously close to the truth, and Nutter Blacktooth offering increasingly creative death threats as “motivational aids,” Danny has to figure out how to save multiple versions of reality while dodging assassins who definitely don’t care which world they’re killing him in.

Some wishes come true. That’s when your real problems begin.

The second book in the addictive Charming series, Happily Never After is perfect for fans of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files, Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London, and anyone who’s ever wondered if the grass really is greener when it’s been magically enhanced by vindictive supernatural forces.
