An heiress, an assassin and a surgeon uncover the secrets of a deadly conspiracy . . .
Miss Temple, young, wealthy and far away from home, never wanted to be a heroine. Yet her fiancé is dead - admittedly by her own hand - and her nemesis, the terrifyingly wicked Contessa Lacquer-Sforza, is still at large. It falls upon Miss Temple's tiny shoulders to destroy the cabal whose alchemy threatens to enslave the world.
But her companions Dr Svenson and Cardinal Chang will aid her as best they might. Exhausted and outnumbered, their bodies corrupted by a poisonous blue glass, they must pursue their enemies through city slums and dazzling palaces as they fight to prevent the cabal's unholy marriage between man and science.
This then is the epic conclusion to the story begun in The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters.
Praise for The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters:
'Fantastic. Somewhere between Dickens, Sherlock Holmes and Rider Haggard. I was in Seventh Heaven.' Kate Mosse, author of Labyrinth
'A page-turner, a rollicking ride. As stupendous as it is stupefying.' Giles Foden, Guardian
