The Iron Wyrm Affair (Bannon & Clare #1)
by Lilith Saintcrow
Expected publication: August 7th 2012
Orbit
Summary from Goodreads:
Emma Bannon, Prime sorceress in the service of the Empire, has a mission: to protect Archibald Clare, a failed, unregistered mentath. His skills of deduction are legendary, and her own sorcery is not inconsiderable. It doesn’t much help that they dislike each other, or that Bannon’s Shield, Mikal, might just be a traitor himself. Or that the conspiracy killing registered mentaths and sorcerers alike will just as likely kill them as seduce them into treachery toward their Queen. In an alternate London where illogical magic has turned the Industrial Revolution on its head, Bannon and Clare now face hostility, treason, cannon fire, black sorcery, and the problem of reliably finding hansom cabs.The game is afoot…
I really need to read more adult fantasy and this new steampunk series might just be the thing. It remind me of Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series. I just hope that there's a delicious hint of romance somewhere in this book.
This series looks wonderful!! I have it on my wish list too.
ReplyDeleteI love the Parasol Protectorate series, so this might be right up my street! I look forward to reading the review. :)
