Winterwood
From Jacey Bedford — author of the Psi-Tech novels — comes a new fantasy set in an alternate ninteenth-century London, where magic and legend are ready to collide.
It’s 1800. Mad King George is on the British throne. Napoleon is knocking at the door. Unregistered magic users are pursued, to the death, by the Mysterium. Integral to many genteel households is an uncomplaining army of rowankind bondservants, so commonplace that no one recalls where they came from. it is in this world that cross-dressing, widowed, privateer captain (and unregistered witch) Rossalinde Tremayne inherits a magical winterwood box. With the box comes a half-brother she didn’t know she had, and a task she doesn’t want: open the box to right an ancient wrong — and free the rowankind...
