Overview

Rumors swirl -- is it the hand of the ""Elf King"" behind the sabotage of Nicola Tesla's network of aether towers? King Edward's Secret Service calls out Kate Cameron's husband Dougray out to investigate. Kate follows -- and watches in horror as her husband plummets into the churning surf at the tower's collapse. Worse, the stranger beside her slow-clapped as Dougray plunged to his death. What kind of monster does that? Kate turns to demand an explanation -- but he's gone. Surely the glib gentleman knew something, planned something -- surely he killed her husband! Kate Cameron, twenty-first century healer turned dowdy Scots wife, will unleash her fury and hunt him down! But how? The card he handed her! He lives -- and will die -- in Paris! Newly widowed Kate Cameron will pursue Errol Koenig to Paris, learn why her husband had to die, and serve justice on his killer! Aided by those she meets, including Winston Churchill, P G Wodehouse, Mata Hari, Arsène Lupin, Nicola Tesla, and Kemal Ataturk, she pursues her prey across Europe to Constantinople and beyond, travelling by Orient Express, Tesla's aethership, automaton Janissary, and xebec. Kate's chase is unrelenting -- but somehow her moment to end Koenig's life never arrives. Could that be because of his strange allure that draws her in, despite her rage? What powers does this man of mystery have? Could he truly be the Elf King? And what of his whispers? Her husband survives, and recuperates even as they confront -- could he possibly be telling the truth? Answers strike in a duel atop an ancient castle on a dark and stormy night. Of course.

Author Information

Lindsay Petersen is a native of Leeds, Alabama, where she grew up feeling she had been born a century too late - and likely even in the wrong Leeds. She's lived all over the world, but most enjoyed Paris, where she studied the French allure of l'amour, and Delhi where she won a coveted first in her studies of the Kama Sutra, excelling especially in her lab work. She lives and travels with her husband, who calls himself ""the luckiest man in the world."" Lindsay Petersen agrees with him.
