Eveline Sparrow (formerly Duchen) hopes to put her past experiences as a thief and con-artist to more legitimate use; which is why some of the girls at her Sparrow School receive private lessons in burglary, fakery, and other such underhand practices. But it's hard to get honest work when few businesses will employ young ladies in the security professions. The duns are at the doorstep, her friend Liu the half-fox-spirit is in some sort of trouble, and the rivalries of the Folk are in danger of overspilling into the mundane world and forcing the Empire into a bloody and horrifying war. Can Eveline pull things out of the mire this time, or will the Sparrow's wings be clipped once and for all?

Gaie Sebold has written several novels, a number of short stories, and a slightly disturbing amount of poetry. Her debut novel introduced brothel-owning ex-avatar of sex and war, 'Babylon Steel' (Solaris, 2012); the sequel, 'Dangerous Gifts' came out in 2013. 'Shanghai Sparrow',a steampunk fantasy, came out in 2014. Her jobs have ranged from till-monkey to bottle-washer and theatre-tour-manager to charity administrator. She lives in leafy suburbia with writer David Gullen and a paranoid cat, runs writing workshops, grows vegetables, and cooks a pretty good borscht.
