Riassunto

Lady Alexia Maccon, soulless, is at it again, only this time the trouble in the air is not her fault. When a mad ghost threatens the queen, Alexia is on the case, following a trail that leads her deep into her husband's past. Top that off with a sister who has joined the suffragette movement (shocking!), Madame Lefoux's latest mechanical invention, and a plague of zombie porcupines - and Alexia barely has time to remember she just happens to be eight months pregnant.

Will Alexia be able to figure out who is trying to kill Queen Victoria before it's too late? Is it the vampires again or is there a traitor lurking about in wolf's clothing? And do they really have to take up residence in Lord Akeldama's second best closet?

***Also available as a manga adaptation***

Su questo libro

Recensione:

'A series for female fantasy fans that are looking for a stroke of ingenuity amongst the torrents of fanged fiction' --SciFiNow

'Throughout, the plot moved smartly, building to a timely climax, providing many chuckles along the way. HEARTLESS is a cross between Pride and Prejudice and The Importance of Being Earnest with a steampunk setting' --Dark Matter

'Carriger's writing remains crisp and witty, and the affectionate banter between Lord and Lady Maccon will please series fans distressed by their long separation in 2010's BLAMELESS' --Publishers Weekly

Descrizione del libro:

From the delightful, tea-sodden, steampunk-fueled imagination of Gail Carriger comes the further adventures of Alexia Tarabotti and her parasol.
