A STUDY IN SILKS

A STUDY IN ASHES
Also includes prequel short stories for all three novels: "The Adventure of the Wollaston Ritual," "The Strange and Alarming Courtship of Miss Imogen Roth," and "The Steamspinner Mutiny"!
In a Victorian era ruled by a council of ruthless steam barons, mechanical power is the real monarch and sorcery the demon enemy of the Empire. Nevertheless, the most coveted weapon is magic that can run machines—something Evelina Cooper has secretly mastered. But rather than making her fortune, her special talents could mean death or an eternity as a guest at Her Majesty's secret laboratories. What's a polite young lady—poised to enjoy her first Season in London Society—to do but mind her manners and pray she's never found out?
But first there's a murder to deal with—not to mention missing automatons, a sorcerer, and a talking mouse. As Sherlock Holmes's niece, Evelina should be able to find the answers, but she has a lot to learn. And the first decision she has to make is whether to trust the handsome, clever rake who makes her breath come faster or the dashing trick rider who would dare anything for her if she would only just ask.
