In a Futurist-Victorian London, Ex-Carnie Victor Hart makes his living as a dinner party entertainer and mountebank, using the skills taught to him by his Romani mother – the Patterns. When tragedy strikes a wealthy friend, Victor Hart puts his skills to use in an alternative manner. This Steampunk London has its fair share of psychos, sickos, and sadists, and it takes a special kind of mind to hunt them. Victor sees human behaviour in a way few others can understand but only as an outsider; certain parts of his humanity are missing and that disturbs him. As he solves each seemingly unrelated case, a dark pattern slowly begins to reveal itself threatening the heart of the British Empire and even what we feel makes us human. A Steampunk-detective-noir, darker than most, the first volume features four thrilling cases; the first novel in a Duology.

Imagine a steampunk world in the Victorian era in modern ages. That's where Syl is. Syl, eighteen, has spent her entire life in the Gear Hall as an Engineer, a top ranking job in the world of Varse, or for as long as she can remember. Her last memory was her when she was four years old, being taken by her guardian Marv to the Hall. Beyond that, she has no recollection of anything, her parents, friends, nothing. She only has a small locket of two children to remind her of her past. One day, after fourteen years, the missing Princess of Thorns is found in the midst of a brutal war between Thorns and Pyro and a spark of hope is to be regained. Syl is given the honor of creating the wedding between Princess Sylvia and Prince Tom of Illicia, the bond that will strengthen the Army and push Thorn into victory. But once Syl arrives at the palace, a series of events will change her life forever...
