About the Book
Cherry St. Croix returns to the fog-ridden streets of Victorian London, where the balance of power threatens all that she loves.
I will not wither without laudanum. Sober and determined, I have chosen
another way — alchemy, and the pursuit of wellness it embodies. My name
is Cherry St. Croix, and though freedom is finally at my fingertips, I
return to the blackened streets intent on righting the wrongs I'd left
behind.
All is not well in London low. Caught in a war between
gangs, men are torn limb from limb, and I am called on to ascertain how. The immoral Karakash Veil is no doubt involved, and Micajah Hawke, a
prisoner in his own Menagerie, cannot soften the danger this time.
Armed with the alchemical arts I have learned, my ever present guardian, and
what few friends are left to me, I embark on a campaign to rescue the
ringmaster I cannot abandon, save the Brick Street Bakers from
annihilation, and finally face that which frightens me the most — my own
heart.
Book five of the St. Croix Chronicles.
