"Women are never to be entirely trusted - not the best of them." -
Arthur Conan Doyle. It's 1902. Wounded in the Boer War, Jane Eyre
returns to a London transmogrified by emerging modernity. An old
friend, the glamorous inventor Lady Havisham, introduces her to the
American adventuress Irene Adler, and the two seek lodging
together. But Adler is engaged in a brutal secret war against a
mortal enemy of the British Empire: Ayesh. She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed,
who seeks revenge against the colonisers who destroyed her country.
As Queen Victoria holds on to her throne with the help of
experimental new medicine, Adler and Ayesha both fight for the
secret weapon developed by the scientist Madame Curie. And as
Ayesha and her amazons (not to mention her pet assassin Carmilla)
take over the London underworld, Adler must form a team of
determined women to stop them - before the Empire is destroyed.
From World Fantasy Award winning author Lavie Tidhar (The Violent
Century, Central Station) and artist Paul McCaffrey (Anno Dracula)
comes a pulse-pounding, gorgeously-illustrated graphic novel of
Victorian menace, excitement and humour in Tidhar's inimitable
style.
