Victoriansociety Stories

Daniel Deronda is a novel by George Eliot, first published in 1876. It was the last novel she completed and the only one set in the contemporary Victorian society of her day. The work's mixture of social satire and moral searching, along with its sympathetic rendering of Jewish proto-Zionist and Kabbalistic ideas, has made it the controversial final statement of one of the most renowned of Victorian novelists. The novel has been adapted for film three times, once as a silent feature and twice for television.

"A story is best told from the begining and the first thing you should know about me is that I am called "Enola Holmes". "Holmes" like the famous detective "Sherlock Holmes", though I can assure you that I am my own person in every right. The second thing you should know is that I am London's very own lady detective." Making a living in London, staying hidden from her brothers and trying to figure out her mother, Enola Holmes has more than enough on her hands. Luckily, every case has a solution. And it certainly is not disadvantageous to have a certain nincompoop, also known as Viscount Tewkesbury, Marquess of Basilwether, on her side either.

The City of Veylora is surrounded by the Fog- but this is no ordinary mist. Those who wander into it never return. Every citizen wears a mask. Every mask carries a strength... and a flaw. No one remembers a time before the masks. No one remembers anything beyond the last twenty years. As far as the Veylorans know, the Fog and the masks have always been. But everything changes the night the Maskmaker's Tower-a solitary spire rising out of the Fog miles away from the city-erupts with light for the first time in two decades. No one has ever reached the Tower. Many have tried. None have come back. And now, the city is unraveling. Masks begin to malfunction. Guards report shapes moving in the Fog. Whispers spread of something... waking. Only five step forward. A noble girl bound by duty. A charming thief with too many secrets. A girl tormented by her dreams. A performer adored by thousands. A girl living a dangerous double life. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the masks, the Fog, and the Tower that has finally awakened. They will either save Veylora... ...or vanish like all who came before.
