Blameless
An Alexia Tarabotti novel
Quitting her husband's house and moving back in with her horrible
family, Lady Maccon becomes the scandal of the London season.
Queen
Victoria dismisses her from the Shadow Council, and the only person who
can explain anything, Lord Akeldama, unexpectedly leaves town. To top
it all off, Alexia is attacked by homicidal mechanical ladybugs,
indicating, as only ladybugs can, the fact that all of London's
vampires are now very much interested in seeing Alexia quite thoroughly
dead.
While Lord Maccon elects to get progressively more
inebriated and Professor Lyall desperately tries to hold the Woolsey
werewolf pack together, Alexia flees England for Italy in search of the
mysterious Templars. Only they know enough about the preternatural to
explain her increasingly inconvenient condition, but they may be worse
than the vampires – and they're armed with pesto.
