And a world where technology lives side by side with magic. The year is 2012 and Pax Britannia still reigns.Xandra Vardan is a member of the elite Royal Guard, and it is her duty to protect the Aristocracy. But when her sister goes missing, Xandra will set out on a path that undermines everything she believed in and uncover a conspiracy that threatens to topple the empire. And she is the key—the prize—in a very dangerous struggle.The fantastic start to The Immortal Empire series that continues with the spectacular undead books, The Queen is Dead and Long Live the Queen.

"Goblins, vampires, and werewolves oh my!!! 22 year-old Alexandra is a half breed member of the Royal Guard living in London, England in an alternate history, steampunk extravaganza. The Black Plague instead of killing everyone made some into plagued aristocrats which took the form of werewolves or vampires. The goblins that plague London's underground are also plagued but are feared by aristos and halvies (half human, half aristo) alike. Alexandra goes to them to locate her missing sister Dede only to uncover traitorous insurectionists, betrayal of the ones closest to her and her secret origins that could potentially get her killed. Fans of steampunk, Kady Cross and Gail Carriger will be delighted by this sexy, exciting and dangerously entertaining read! Highly recommended. 16+ for some sexual content and offensive language."
