In 1869, the Earth experiences the close pass of a new comet. In its wake, thousands of Terra's inhabitants find themselves strangely changed. Among humanity, many find that any talent they may naturally possess has been elevated to an astounding degree. Likewise, a number of animals become self-aware and intelligent. A young “comet prodigy” from humble beginnings, Ichabod Temperance, has become one of the world's foremost inventors in this age of prolific genius. Traveling to England to deliver his latest brilliant device to a famous explorer, the young tinker is unexpectedly struck by the fearsome hand of fate. Meanwhile, a lovely young aristocrat, Miss Persephone Plumtartt, survives an experimental accident only to find herself imbued with a power she can neither understand nor control, while dark forces and malevolent creatures pursue her, leaving a gruesome wake of death.
Yet, worse is to come. The naïve young inventor and the lovely intellectual find themselves fighting not only to save their own lives, while concurrently coming to terms with their own budding romance, but to prevent the destruction of all life on Earth in this humorously told and poignant steampunk adventure!
This

LOVE the book cover..........
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the cover. It is *extremely* 19th century. The author name matching the character name is kind of throwing me, though. I'm assuming the author's name is a pseudonym and used because that's the character and not the other way around?

Thank you, Smiles!
Yes, Ma'am, I use my name in the titles of the books. I hope it does not throw you to much, but it does help create the basis of a theme in the series.
Cheers!
Happy Reading!
