Scorpion Dawn: a novella of gaslight and magic
About this ebook
Miranda Fletcher lives in a glittering world of aeronauts and artists, dance cards and dandies, but terror lurks outside the city walls. The countryside is infested with hungry abominations called the Unseen, and a single crack in the capital’s defenses invites disaster.
Then Miranda witnesses a murder and learns the walls aren’t as secure as their magical protectors claim. But despite a string of bloody crimes, no one is foolhardy enough to question the mages, much less battle monsters at the gate.
Except Miranda. When tragedy shatters her home, she’ll risk everything to get answers—and vengeance. Even death.
Sometimes the smallest creature carries the deadliest sting.
About the author
Ever since childhood, Emma Jane Holloway refused to accept that history was nothing but facts prisoned behind the closed door of time. Why waste a perfectly good playground coloring within the timelines? Accordingly, her novels are filled with whimsical impossibilities and the occasional eye-blinking impertinence—but always in the service of grand adventure.
Struggling between the practical and the artistic—a family tradition, along with ghosts and a belief in the curative powers of shortbread—Emma Jane has a degree in literature and job in finance. She lives in the Pacific Northwest in a house crammed with books, musical instruments, and half-finished sewing projects.
Emma Jane Holloway is the USA Today Bestselling author of steampunk and fantasy novels, including the Baskerville Affair and Hellion House series. She lives in the Pacific Northwest in a house crammed with cats, books, musical instruments, and half-finished sewing projects.
