In the Provincial Union of Victoriana, a steampunk America
that lost the Revolutionary War, Charmian “Kit” Kittredge
makes her living investigating crimes of magic. While Kit
tries to avoid the nobs of high society, she follows
mysteries wherever they lead.
Unlike most folks, Kit doesn’t believe in magic, but she
can’t refuse to help Lady Diana Walsh, who claims a curse is
viciously wounding her while she sleeps. As Kit investigates
the Walsh family, she becomes convinced that the attacks are
part of a more ominous plot—one that may involve the lady’s
obnoxious husband.
Sleuthing in the city of Rumsen is difficult enough, but
soon Kit must also skirt the unwanted attentions of a
nefarious deathmage and the unwelcome scrutiny of the police
chief inspector. Unwilling to surrender to either man’s
passion for her, Kit struggles to remain independent as she
draws closer to the heart of the mystery. For the truth
promises to ruin her life—and turn Rumsen into a
supernatural battleground from which no one will escape
alive.
