*This story is set in Novusverse, meaning that the majority gender roles are flipped, i.e. men being feminine, and women being masculine. This specific version of Earth in Novusverse has been radically altered by both this different dynamic and by the presence of supernatural species. Jay gets paid to do nothing but stand or sit in place for hours at a time. Really. That's all she has to do. And it's incredibly dangerous. As a hypno-immune human in a world of vampires, werewolves, wizards, and more, Jay and the company she works for provides a valuable resource: a guarantee that when two parties meet to negotiate deals, sign contracts, or even end wars, the less-advantaged can't be hypnotized into signing away the kingdom. When her employer decides to take a high-profile contract that turns out to be far more than anyone bargained for, Jay's life becomes far more complicated than she's prepared for - and suddenly her policy of "not my problem" can't help her now. Because it's very much her problem: her boss's life is in her hands, the young vampire femboy she took home a few nights ago is way more involved than he's letting on, and a demon-hybrid wizard keeps showing up and picking through her stuff. Worst of all, the Crown of Mortal Magic seems to have disappeared from their city. Which means that if Jay wants to keep her boss alive and get answers to her growing list of questions, she's going to have to stop running from her problems and do the one thing her job should normally never require: facing the enemy head-on.

A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.
