Vampires, vengeance...and a mutinous Victorian lady's maid.
It's not always easy to deal with a ticking bomb—and Miss Sharp just happens to have thrown this one straight at Queen Victoria's royal train.
Liz was only trying to save lives, but now she must face the Kabale, a secret tribunal of royal monsters who don't easily forgive a stray bomb. If Liz can't convince them of her loyalty, her life will be forfeit.

A trip to Europe is all in a day's work for Liz Sharp—that is, until an anarchist throws a bomb at her employer.
As a lady's maid/bodyguard to royalty, Miss Sharp's duty seems clear: protect Princess May, defuse the bomb, and hand over the would-be-killer to the police. At least, that's what the distractingly good-looking Inspector Short advises.

Honored by Kirkus Reviews as one of The Best Indie Books of 2020.
"Davenport is an accomplished stylist with a keen ear for nuanced dialogue; he also has a knack for making serious political points with a light touch that makes them broadly accessible. . . A thoughtful and compelling account of the responsibilities that come with privilege."
