Synopsis

Alexia Maccon, Lady Woolsey, muhjah to the queen and Britain's secret preternatural weapon, wakes to find her husband, Lord Conall Maccon, yelling about something gone. Then he disappears, leaving her to deal with supernatural soldiers, exorcised ghosts and an irate Queen Victoria, and, as the only known preternatural in London, Alexia is the obvious suspect. Armed with her trusty parasol, she boards a dirigible and heads north to find him, a search that leads her to the dark side of Scotland. The second book of the Parasol Protectorate, a comedy of manners set in Victorian London, full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles and tea-drinking.

Notes

  • From the series record (Parasol Protectorate): A completed five-book steampunk/urban fantasy comedy-of-manners set in an alternate Victorian England where vampires and werewolves are a regulated part of polite society, following Alexia Tarabotti, a soulless woman whose touch neutralises supernatural powers, across marriage, motherhood, and widening supernatural politics.
