AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Bunting Faukes has a debt and no way to repay it - times are tough for grave robbers. But a way out is presented in the person of Atticus Wells, a sleuth with strange eyes that see into everything. Virtue Bland is alone in the world. Packed off to Brandenbrass to serve the household of her late father's employer, she has only her old pa's olfactologue to remember him by. But with it she can smell monsters.' (Publication abstract)

Notes

  • Steampunk Note: The pseudo-Victorian secondary world of this collection is dominated by the technological aesthetic of steampunk, though the technologies themselves are actually based more on biology than steam technology. This collection in particular contains pseudo-Victorian mystery elements, and focuses more on the biological steampunk (biopunk) technology of the series.
