Notes

  • Steampunk note: Described by the publisher as steampunk. The author describes it as 'a bit of a different style than I usually write. It’s got angels, steampunk and heresy, and a bit nastier than my usual sort of thing.' (Source: http://www.davidmcdonaldspage.com/2014/07/story-sale-to-fablecroft-insert-title-here/)

    'They were afraid, as you should be afraid. They saw life, death and the space between; metamorphosis, terrible choices and bitter regrets.
