Fantasy Steampunk
Dr. Eliza Jekyll must turn to her dark side, Miss Lizzie
Hyde, to stop a madman who’s targeting London’s most
important scientists and sorcerers, terrorizing the city
with dark magic, in this third Electric Empire novel—a
dazzlingly original steampunk fantasy set in the gritty
world of alternate Victorian London, with echoes of H. G.
Wells’s classic, The Time Machine. Being two people in one body isn’t easy. Metropolitan Police
crime scene physician Eliza Jekyll is trying to maintain a
semblance of control, even as her rebellious second self,
Lizzie, grows increasingly wild—threatening the respectable
Eliza’s reputation and her marriage to Remy Lafayette, the
Royal Society investigator and occasional lycanthrope. With
England on the brink of war, Remy’s away in sorcery-riddled
Paris on a secretive mission that grows ever more sinister.
Has he been an enemy agent all along? Or is coping with her
secret divided self finally driving Eliza mad? Eliza needs her mind clear and sharp if she’s to catch an
evil genius who is killing eminent scientists. The chase
uncovers a murky world of forbidden books, secret
laboratories, and a cabal of fanatical inventors whose work
could change the world—or destroy it—and who may hold
answers to Eliza’s mysterious past. As sorcery-wielding terrorists attack London, Eliza
discovers her own enemies are closing in, driving her to
desperate measures—enlisting the aid of the wily,
resourceful, mercurial Lizzie—to thwart the killer. But
Lizzie’s got her own life now, and true to her nature, will
resort to the devious and diabolical to keep it. Even if it
means throwing Eliza to the wolves, and letting the world
burn. . . .
