Description
Alexia Tarabotti's life is complicated. She has no soul and is a spinster whose father is deceased and Italian. A recent vampire attack has added to her troubles, breaking all social etiquette norms. As a result, Alexia accidentally killed the vampire and Lord Maccon, a werewolf sent by Queen Victoria to investigate, was sent to look into the matter. With supernatural creatures appearing and disappearing, everyone suspects Alexia of being responsible. Her ability to negate supernatural powers is both useful and embarrassing. Can she figure out what's happening to London's high society? The Parasol Protectorate series offers a comedy of manners set in Victorian London, full of unexpected twists and turns. This first book in the series introduces readers to a world of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea-drinking etiquette.
