First in an all-new series where seductive danger and steampunk adventure abound in the gritty world of the Iron Seas.
After the Iron Duke freed England from Horde control, he instantly
became a national hero. Now Rhys Trahaearn has built a merchant empire
on the power — and fear — of his name. And when a dead body is dropped
from an airship onto his doorstep, bringing Detective Inspector Mina
Wentworth into his dangerous world, he intends to make her his next
possession.
Mina can’t afford his interest, however. Horde blood runs through her veins, and despite the nanotech enhancing her body, she barely
scratches out a living in London society. Becoming Rhys’s lover would
destroy both her career and her family, yet the investigation prevents
her from avoiding him… and the Iron Duke’s ruthless pursuit makes him
difficult to resist.
But when Mina uncovers the victim’s identity, she stumbles upon a
conspiracy that threatens the lives of everyone in England. To save
them, Mina and Rhys must race across zombie-infested wastelands and
treacherous oceans — and Mina discovers the danger is not only to her
countrymen as she finds herself tempted to give up everything to the
Iron Duke.
