When the talented and spoiled Pamela Blackwood meets the King of
railway builders during the railway mania of the 1840s, she almost
succumbs to his powerful charm, immediately. But she is also drawn
in an entirely different way to her new music master, a gifted
pupil of the great Franz Lizst. One man offers her an empire of
wealth and power, the other offers the spiritual fulfillment of her
deepest talents. But the tutor of her once hated step sister, a
poor, modest young man shows her that really, only one solution is
possible. He is a young man with a mission: to solve the murder of
his former mentor. Their stories unfold against the back drop of
the explosive growth of the British Empire, when rich and poor were
on the verge of war and the "Iron Beast" was changing everything
and giving birth to our own era. The Iron Beast is a portrait of an
age and a comment on our own times.
