The Lady Janies Series

(0 review)

The New York Times bestselling authors of My Lady Jane present a brilliantly funny and adventurous YA fantasy series, where each book turns a story from the past we might think we know on its head. 

What if some of the famous historical figures we've romanticised over the years had a past far more adventurous than we could ever imagine? For example, say Mary Shelley and Ada Lovelace were fae. Calamity Jane was a werewolf hunter. Mary, Queen of Scots, was a shapeshifter. And the infamous lady pirate, Mary Read, was a mermaid. Each of these women are so much more than what history teaches us, each with their own intricate stories of adventure, danger and passion. The books in this series are all standalones and do not require reading in any particular order, so just start from whichever title inspires you most!

These books look bring fantasy into history, with a dash of the authors' signature humour, perfect for fans of Montague Siblings and all the best YA historical fiction.
