peter pan reimagined as a gaslamp fantasySecond Starfall is a gaslamp fantasy retelling of Peter Pan.
(Gaslamp fantasy is a genre similar to steampunk but not quite- think of Stardust, The Golden Compass/ His Dark Materials and Carnival Row and you'll get the idea.) London Town is an industrious and chaotic city famous for its skulduggery as it is for its wealth and culture. The Neverland is a magical island, sailing the skies somewhere above the city. Few people ever see the island, let alone visit- though they know it is nearby when strange things begin to happen in the city. Peter, an ex-recruit of The Academy in London Town, was raised on the flying island from a very young age. Though most only know him as an aimless, smuggler-aeronaught. Now he goes back and forth, visiting the mermaids, fairies and magical creatures of the island and then sailing right past pirates and treasure-hunters obsessed with finding it. Llooking for other souls as lost as he was. If the Lost help keep his island free of poachers, so much the better. It was going more or less smoothly until he and his best friend, a fairy from the island, witnessed something miraculous; A Starfall. There has only been one other Starfall in living memory: The night before the Neverland first appeared in the sky. |
