Mad Mo and the crew of The Siren are the most fearsome pirates to ever fly the skies over the Barbary Coast. Only those closest to her know that everything she does--the raiding, the looting, the illegal magicking--are all for a greater cause--to find her baby sister. After five long years of searching, Mad hits a stroke of luck: she comes across the same airship that abducted her sister. But before she can launch an attack, The Siren is overtaken, and Mad wakes up bound to a chair aboard the enemy ship, her greatest weapon--her magic--rendered useless. Her captor is not what or who she expected; he's far worse. And Mad must strike a deal with the devil himself to get the answers she needs to save her sister. A steampunk fantasy adventure!

In the unused railways beneath the streets of London lives a peculiar sort of folk; the outcast; the overlooked. Valerie Glass wasn't always a Sewer Rat. She remembers the days of splendour, dinner parties and extravagant gifts. She was to be a Lady, envied for her beauty and cleverness. One night before her very eyes her future unravels. Her mother is murdered by wildling vampires, her father's body torn to pieces. It would have been her fate too had it not been for Cordelia: a vampire who still sees the beauty in humanity. Valerie escapes with Cordelia to Underlondon where they remain hidden for a decade. With no warning strange things begin to plague the city. Harlots go missing only to turn up several days later with their throats torn out, hearts missing. Thieves are found wandering the dark streets above eyes glazed over and mumbling an archaic incantation. A war is coming and a boy with eyes the colour of jade believes he is the key to Valerie's survival.

Juliette Rivers is crazy. Or at least that's what her parents think, not to mention the doctors. But she knows the truth, that the things she sees are far from imaginary. And worse, those things are out to get her. But maybe, just maybe, a little craziness is exactly what she needs to save her. "Oh Juliette, come out come out wherever you are. Come on my dear, don't you want to play a game with me?" He purrs. His words send a shiver of horror throughout my body. "I know you are out there Juliette, I hear that frantic little heart of yours beating. I can practically see your perfect pale breasts heaving in panic." He takes a few more steps forward then stops. A moment later, I hear him chuckle. He had found me." WINNER OF @ViktoriaRay and @_Tattered's SHIVER CONTEST Cover by @nameeramariyam All Rights Reserved 2013
