Book Description
London, 1891. Dirigibles, like dark leviathans, surge through the sooty skies of London. Steam powers the engines that supply electricity to the new lights along the Thames. And strange murder appears on the seamy streets. Someone is killing women and gutting them for their body parts. Is it Jack the Ripper returned, or a far more sinister plot afoot than murder? Magician Leopold Kazsmer, the Great Enchanter, ashamed of his Jewish-Gypsy blood, has fashioned himself into a proper English gentleman, though he harbors a carefully guarded secret; he has learned the dangerous art of summoning daemons and through it, performs real magic. With the help of Raj, a tarot-reading automated man, and Eurynomos, a shrewd Jewish daemon, Leopold must discover what is behind the revolting murders that suddenly seem to involve tight-lipped German scientists, Golems in a plot of world domination, ghosts, demons, and the beautiful Scotland Yard Special Inspector, Mingli Zhao. Is she truly from the secret depths of Scotland Yard or is she instead a heartless spy and murderess?

London, 1308. “All I need is a Plan!” So says Oswald of Harlech, a misplaced Welshman in the heart of London.

Languages : en
Pages : 2709
Book Description
Enjoy this eleven book collection by historical fantasy romance author Anne Renwick where you'll unravel mysteries and defy conventions in a world where danger lurks around every corner. You’ll find forbidden romance, evil villains and mad science in these gaslamp and steampunk romances... THE GOLDEN SPIDER: Mayhem and murder endanger the foggy streets of Victorian London where secrets and spies hide in a world of gaslamp fantasy. In Victorian London, Professor Lord Thornton and Lady Amanda, entwined in a web of forbidden attraction, unite to capture a killer who has stolen a clockwork spider designed to spin artificial nerves. Racing against time, they unravel a sinister conspiracy threatening both old London and the delicate balance of their clandestine romance. THE SILVER SKULL: An illegal border crossing. A fake marriage. A mad German count determined to create an army of unbreakable soldiers. Determined to avoid an arranged marriage, she stowed away inside a dirigible, only to find herself locked inside a German castle with no hope of rescue. Survival means faking a marriage to the man she was chasing – an excellent opportunity to prove herself as a spy. Except she's falling for him. THE IRON FIN: A vampiric octopus hunting selkies. A torrid love affair. Traitors who prey on those closest to them in a bid for power. Strange creatures are attacking her people, their injuries beyond her medical expertise. More than one fisherman has been tossed ashore by the waves, drained of blood, a severed tentacle piercing his flesh. To find answers, she must forge a cautious alliance with the outsider making inquiries… even if he does present an almost irresistible temptation. VENOMOUS SECRETS: Deadly secrets. A fanged monster. A device that could save lives or shatter worlds. Cait McCullough is trouble personified. Bored with exploring the possibilities of her unique biology in a laboratory, she longs for excitement. And investigating a vicious fanged creature who stalks its victims by lamplight in darkest London offers the perfect opportunity. Working with a handsome, unmarried agent? A delightful bonus. A TRACE OF COPPER: A small Welsh village. An interrupted romance. A rogue frog on the loose threatening their future. New recruit to the Queen’s agents, Dr. Piyali Mukherji is given a simple first assignment. Travel to the small Welsh village of Aberwyn and solve the mystery of a young woman’s blue skin lesion. A challenging task, for the alarming infection is unlike anything she’s seen before—and it’s spreading. IN PURSUIT OF DRAGONS: Secrets hidden inside a castle. The return of a lost love. A desperate fight to defeat the enemies who threaten their future. In a laboratory behind the walls of a castle, Natalia Zakharova Kinross, Lady of Kinlarig, hides her many secrets. But for how much longer? For not only is a medical miracle embedded within her skin, a mythological dragon prowls the grounds. And there are men who will stop at little to lay claim to both. A REFLECTION OF SHADOWS: A thief with golden eyes. The spy who loves her. A mad scientist who will break hearts to expose her secrets. Shunned for her odd eyes and an unnerving habit of slipping into shadows, Lady Colleen Stewart refuses to be caged—should she decide to marry, it’ll be for love and to a man of her choice. After all, she’d rather be racing over rooftops than waltzing across ballroom floors. So when the only man to ever tempt her heart invites her on a covert mission, she leaps into danger. A SNOWFLAKE AT MIDNIGHT: A rare manuscript. A midnight promise. A man who would steal them both away. Pressured by looming deadlines and an annoying patron, Evie Brown, academic librarian, struggles to find joy this Christmas holiday. Worse, her sick father is ready to abandon treatments and surrender to fate — a decision she refuses to accept. Delving into a medieval manuscript, she searches for answers in the distant past. A GHOST IN AMBER: A secret passageway. A tortured ghost. A love that transcends time. On All Hallows’ Eve, Lady Diana Starr is poised to uncover a lost zoological treasure when an unfortunate steam accident threatens to destroy the chance of a lifetime. Locked in a race with her arch nemesis, she must toss aside all decorum and break rules—lest he destroy her dreams. Again. A WHISPER OF BONE: Strange, secretive neighbors. Groundhogs run amok. The steep price of resurrecting the past. After years of avoiding his family, cryptobiologist Ryan Nolan returns to New Haven to investigate rumors of a dragon sighting. Yet instead of a giant mythological lizard, he stumbles upon a dead body. Connecting the murder to missing Mexican artifacts leads him on a path straight back to his long-lost love, Charlotte. FLIGHT OF THE SCARAB: A clockwork scarab. A fairy ring. A chance to reignite the past. Julia Marston discovers her estranged husband's lifeless body in a cemetery and falls into a fairy ring. A clockwork scarab takes flight. Graham Leyton, seeking stolen technology, reenters Julia's life. In a race against time, the past and present collide, leading to a confrontation that will shape their future. For fans of steampunk and gaslamp fantasy romance like Stephanie Burgis, MJ Scott, Lindsay Buroker, this is a STEAMY romance with a guaranteed happily ever after for women in STEM and the men who are their match.
