    About this series

    Veronique Dunn has lived on the streets of Londo City since she was eight years old—an orphan in constant danger of being arrested. Three days before her eighteenth birthday, she sees an audition announcement for a new Citizen Symphony. This is her big chance. She might be a rag-tag street rat, but she can play the piano like an angel. And in three days, she will be able to step out of the shadows.


    But staying out of trouble for three days is a real challenge. Her mentor is murdered. She discovers an agent of the Overseers is looking for her. Then thugs accost her, and mysterious Roman Brandt intervenes. He opens his opulent home to her, but forbids her to audition. The audition could be a trap.


    Veronique must decide what to do. Give up her dream? Or remain in the only real home she has ever known, with a man who might be the biggest threat of all.


    Her heart says stay. Her head says run...

      In a dark and twisted version of Victorian England, Joanna Wilder moonlights as an unsanctioned apothecary who treats the ailments of her fellow citizens. But there is no cure for her sister’s waywardness. When irresponsible Eva disappears five days before her government-arranged wedding, Joanna risks her life and reputation to search for her sister in the treacherous streets of Londo City. She is determined to see Eva married off. Only then will Joanna be free to live life for herself. The last place Eva was seen was a medical clinic, run by enigmatic Dr. Gabriel Stone. Something about the doctor isn’t right. But Joanna must place her trust in him when she is badly trampled in a riot started by Eva and her rebel lover. As Joanna lies dying, Gabriel is forced to make a life and death decision: let nature take its course or try an untested medical procedure. Secretly in love with her, he undertakes the procedure. Overnight, Joanna starts to change into something not quite human. As Joanna hatches a risky plan to save Eva and her rebel lover from the noose, she uncovers secret after secret about her sister, her own newfound powers and the dark world she lives in—but most of all about the doctor who has played God with her life. She may never forgive him.

The prospect fills her with dread. But as Eva waits for the weekly train, two things happen to derail her. One, she stumbles upon the lone survivor of a shipwreck—a handsome Croatian who claims he’s come to the Anglo Territories to kill the king of the vampires. Vampires? And two, she spots her estranged sister in a line of prisoners awaiting transport to the NorSea work camps. Eva is certain she is the reason Joanna is in chains. But what can she do? She’s never been as strong or as smart or as brave as Joanna. Then she discovers the heinous secret of Port Pennwood—a secret that means certain death for her sister.. Can Eva summon the courage to save Joanna? And should she accept the Croatian’s offer of help? She doesn’t trust men, and she certainly doesn’t trust herself. But the time has come to grow up and make amends. Or die trying.
