A beautifully crafted and richly magical tale, featuring dark forces, god-like beings, and mysterious strangers.

Naomi’s world is falling into the palm of the Hand of Calamity—a god of death—and she is the one who must defeat the darkness to secure her world in the Hand of Protection.

Fourteen-year-old Ben Ostman’s lack of respect for authority has gotten out of hand, and now he is one mistake away from landing in juvenile detention. Having run out of options, Ben’s mother turns to her brother-in-law for help, leaving Ben no other choice but to spend his summer on his estranged Uncle Garth’s Mississippi farmhouse.

Evaline Stoker and Mina Holmes never meant to get into the family business. But when you're the sister of Bram and the niece of Sherlock, vampire hunting and mystery solving are in your blood, so to speak.

After the Affair of the Clockwork Scarab, Evaline Stoker and Mina Holmes are eager to help Princess Alix with a new case. Seventeen-year-old Willa Aston is obsessed with spiritual mediums, convinced she is speaking with her mother from beyond the grave.

What seems like a case of spiritualist fraud quickly devolves into something far more menacing: someone is trying to make Willa appear lunatic using an innocent-looking spiritglass to control her. The list of clues piles up: an unexpected murder, a gang of pickpockets, and the return of vampires to London. But are these events connected?
