Wuthering Current

He's been asleep for a decade. He hasn't aged a day. He is the city's most beautiful secret.

Inside the glass "coffin" of the Somnigraph, Heath is a storm trapped in amber. As a bio-galvanic battery, he is the only thing keeping London's new electric grid from flickering out. To the world, he is a miracle of science; to Kit Moore, he is the ghost of a past she tried to bury.

When the Institute demands a "correction" that will leave Heath a hollow shell, Kit realizes her science has become a poisoned apple. The glass is thick, the voltage is rising, and it's time for the "prince" of the moors to finally wake up-and burn the palace down.

A dark Steampunk retelling where the haunting obsession of Brontë meets the unhallowed science of Shelley. The moors have been traded for the hum of the electric wire, and the ghost has become the machine.
