A hugely engaging adventure set
in a Victorian-style world - a fantastical
version of Dickens - that will appeal to
fans of Susanna Clarke and Philip Pullman.
Two orphans are more than they seem. And
one megalomaniac will stop at nothing to
find them...
When Molly Templar witnesses a brutal murder
at the brothel she has just been apprenticed
to, her first instinct is to return to the
poorhouse where she grew up. But there she
finds her fellow orphans butchered, and
it slowly dawns on her that she was in fact
the real target of the attack.
For Molly carries a secret deep in her
blood, a secret that marks her out for destruction
by enemies of the state. Soon Molly will
find herself battling a grave threat to
civilization which draws on an ancient power
thought to have been quelled millennia ago.
