Shanghai Sparrow is a Far Eastern steampunk tale of
espionage, distant empires and thrilling exploits, with a
dynamic heroine. Eveline Duchen is a thief and con-artist, surviving day by

progress rise on the straining backs of the poor and
disenfranchised. Where the Folk, the otherworldly children
of fairy tales and legends, have all but withdrawn from the
smoke of the furnaces and the clamour of iron. Caught in an act of deception by the implacable Mr
Holmforth, Evvie is offered a stark choice: transportation
to the colonies, or an education – and utter commitment to
Her Majesty’s Service – at Miss Cairngrim’s harsh school for
female spies. But on the decadent streets of Shanghai, where the
corruption of the Empire is laid bare, Holmforth is about to
make a devil’s bargain, and Eveline’s choices could change
the future of two worlds...
