    About this ebook

    A young woman discovers her own brand of magic in a pre-World War II Budapest teeming with monsters, vampires, and demons...

    Eva Farkas has managed to survive in fascist Budapest despite her heritage and her congenital lack of magic. But after seeking the help of the Vampire Lord of Budapest, Eva comes to realize that mere survival isn't enough. She must find the magic hidden inside of her, and not just survive, but fly.

    THE MAGIC OF FABULOUS is a novella set in the world of the LADY LAZARUS historical fantasy series, and contains both an afterword by the author and excerpts from the other books in the series.

    When the deck is stacked against you, how do you choose to play the game?

    About the Author:

    Michele Lang writes supernatural tales: the stories of witches, lawyers, goddesses, bankers, demons, and other magical creatures hidden in plain sight. She is the author of the historical fantasy LADY LAZARUS, the first of a series. DARK VICTORY, the next novel in the series, releases in early 2012. In addition to this, Michele has practiced the unholy craft of litigation in both New York and Connecticut.

    She returned to her native New York shortly before 9/11, and now lives in a small town on Long Island with her husband, her sons, and a rotating menagerie of cats, hermit crabs, and butterflies. Visit her on the web at www.michelelang.com

    Praise for the LADY LAZARUS series:

    “Michele Lang’s DARK VICTORY is the best entry yet in a groundbreaking, rich, enthralling series that combines the darkest days of World War II with magic, very human characters, and stakes that couldn’t be higher. A tour-de-force!” - New York Times bestselling author Rachel Caine

    “An absolutely unique protagonist in an engaging tale set against the backdrop of the greatest clash of good and evil in human history. What’s not to love about LADY LAZARUS?” – New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher

    ** “Lang crafts a creative and tense story as all of Europe awaits the September invasion of Poland. Lang is a writer to watch and is sure to have wide appeal of fans of Jim Butcher, Kat Richardson, and other urban fantasy A-listers.”** – Booklist (starred review)
