The sixth marvellous tale of high adventure and derring-do from the
master of steampunk literature, set in the world of The Court of
the Air A daring underwater chase ends in a battle for the Kingdom
itself... The streets of Middlesteel are under attack by an unseen
enemy, leaving bloodless corpses in its trail. The newssheets
scream vampire, but the truth is even more deadly than anyone
knows. Charlotte Shades, Mistress of Mesmerism, is a thief - and a
darned good one at that. When two mysterious men ask her to steal
King Jude's Sceptre from the Parliament vaults, the challenge (and
reward) is too great to pass up. After all, Charlotte's natural
charm and the magic of the gem she wears - the mysterious Eye of
Fate - have never failed her before. Only consulting detective
Jethro Daunt and his steamman companion Boxiron know there's more
to these two men than meets the eye. Yet even as they rescue
Charlotte from a fate worse than death, they are thrown into a plot
thicker than even they realize. They escape beneath the waves in an
ancient submarine led by Commodore Jethro Black, where they
encounter stiff resistance from the strange people who inhabit the
vast underwater kingdoms. But man, woman, seanore and gillneck
alike must band together if they are to defeat a danger that might
not even be from this world...
