It's not easy finding love in 1892 Victorian London.

Midnight adventures, artifact hunting, and the occasional murder—it's all in a day's (or night's) work for Alice Mortensen. As an Aetheral, a supernatural race with special abilities, she is hardly an eligible marital prospect, even with her upper class social status. Not that she minds. The woman she once loved broke her heart and that, for Alice, is that.

Until said woman, one Lady Eleanora Spurlock, returns with a desperate request: find a powerful artifact to ransom in exchange for a kidnapped servant. It's one thing for Alice to risk her life. It's quite another to risk her heart for the second time.

But her perpetual curiosity about the mysterious Aetheric world is enough temptation for Alice to gamble both. Soon, both Alice and Nora are fighting off fireballs, an over-eager stepmother determined to see them marry, and each other in a race to rescue an innocent lady's maid.

Explosions, both metaphorical and literal, abound in this lesbian steampunk adventure!
