A Dickensian fantasy of illusion and charm

It begins in an unnamed city nicknamed The Fairest.

Dora, a former domestic servant at the university has a secret desire—to find where her brother went after he died, believing the answer lies within The Museum of Psykical Research. With the city amidst a revolutionary upheaval, where citizens like Robert Barnes, her lover and a student radical, are now in positions of authority, Dora contrives to gain the curatorship of the half-forgotten museum only to find it all but burnt to the ground.

Set against the backdrop of a nation on the verge of collapse, Dora’s search for the truth behind the mystery she’s long concealed will unravel a monstrous conspiracy and bring her to the edge of worlds.
