THE IRON WYRM AFFAIR

Lilith Saintcrow

THE IRON WYRM AFFAIR is the start of a new series from the amazing Lilith Saintcrow.

IRON WYRM introduces readers to Emma Bannon a cool and logical sorceress sent to protect Archibald Clare, a Sherlock Holmes-esque mentath from a serial killer. They are like oil and water, and not helped by the fact that Bannon’s right hand, or Shield, Mikal, might just be a traitor himself. Set in an alternate London where illogical magic has turned the Industrial Revolution on its head, Bannon and Clare now face hostility, treason, cannon fire, black sorcery, and the problem of reliably finding hansom cabs.

Comments

“Multigenre talent Saintcrow (Angel Town) launches a delicious steampunk alternate London that pays more than a little stylistic homage to Sherlock Holmes, adding additional excitement in the form of magical duels, backstreet chases, battles with giant mecha, and confrontations with ancient wyrms and gryphons. … Sensual writing, intricate plotting, and sympathetically quirky, satisfyingly competent characters make this series one to watch.”

“A well-developed world and a large cast of characters set the stage for several sequels featuring the intriguing duo of Bannon and Clare. Fast paced and full of plot twists, this is a lightweight summer read for fans of Gail Carriger and Meljean Brooks.”
