What does it mean to be a good person?
Sophie Guest is puzzled. One day she was an apprentice stable hand, the next day she was thrust into a world of magick and given the reins of a Unicorn. When she discovers that the Fae are real and that some people have the gods on speed dial, she has a very urgent question:
What does it mean to be good?
Luckily, help is at hand.
Stewart McBride wasn't born to magick either - he married into it. As an Oxford University philosopher, he is the perfect man to help Sophie explore morals in the world of magick. Being an Oxford don, he has his own question: do the Fae really have no concept of goodness?
So the tea table is set, and Sophie brings along Rachael Clarke and Saerdam Alice of the Fae for an in-depth dissection of Plato's dialogue Euthyphro.
The action takes place during one afternoon, and the whole symposium is presented as a radio play - just dialogue and discussion. There are no spoilers for the main King's Watch series, and this book aims to let the underlying philosophical questions have some airtime of their own.
As well as philosophy, there is plenty of banter and we see each of the characters responding differently to the challenges of being good in the world of magick.
Join Sophie, Alice, Rachael and Stewart for an immersive dive down the rabbit hole of morality and grab a copy of Table Talk today.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
