From the creators of the
award-winning steampunk series comes a new adventure set in the
Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences world.
Before the Maestro launched his sinister plan to rule to world…
Before the Phoenix Society attempted to unleash the Mechamen on the Empire…
Before Ministry archivist Wellington Books was captured by the House of Usher…
...there was Verity Fitzroy and the Ministry Seven.
They
were all orphans, each with their own stories and their own demons,
enjoying the run of London. Then they came under the care of Agent
Harrison Thorne of the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences, and a whole new
adventure began for them all. Now calling themselves The Ministry
Seven, they serve at the behest of Her Majesty in between the odd con
job or two.
While Verity Fitzroy loses herself in magical
mechanications and fantastical science of London, she harbours from her
fellow street urchins secrets of the death of her parents, of a mystery
she can't leave alone, and of a power over machinery that both excites
and terrifies her.
When an Egyptologist from the British Museum
is kidnapped, and the only clue leads to an elite school for gifted,
young scientists, the Ministry Seven are called upon to go where their
agents cannot. Within the walls of the Delancy Academy, Verity uncovers
an ancient evil that could herald the end of the world as well as the
truth behind her father’s most trusted confidant.
The Seven set
down a dangerous path of intrigue, mystery, and murder; and find that
ancient curses are especially difficult to contend with when you have
assignments for Chemistry class due the following day.
