As the proprietor of Disenchanted & Co. in a steampunk
version of America, Charmian “Kit” Kittredge makes her
living solving magical crimes. But when a snobbish lady begs
for help, saving her reputation might very well cost Kit her
life.
Doing a favor for deathmage Lucien Dredmore, Kit agrees to
interview a newly widowed lady as a potential client. Upon
meeting, however, she learns that the woman in question is
none other than Lady Eugenia Bestly, president of the Rumsen
Ladies Decency Society— someone who once led a vicious
campaign to ruin Kit’s life. Ironically Lady Bestly now
lives in fear herself, for the press is about to unmask her
husband as the savage “Wolfman” who died while terrorizing
the city.
As monstrous rampages continue to occur, Kit soon determines
there is more than one Wolfman, and that they may themselves
be victims of evil players. While avoiding both mechanized
assassins and attempts by Dredmore and Chief Inspector Tom
Doyle to take her under their protection, Kit follows a
tangled path that leads from a prestigious gentlemen’s club
fronting a hellish secret to a vengeful native tribe and
dangerous, ancient magics.
