At the end of The Spellbinder, Tom and Laura go missing in London. Book 2 starts a few hours earlier as the couple settle down on the rail journey back to London accompanied by the Prince of Wales. They think their troubles are over, but they have barely begun.

They are about to be kidnapped and sold into slavery. Cam, Daisy and Arnold are tasked with finding them, but soon everybody else will believe they are dead.

Worse, they are soon on their way to Scotland to help a madman destroy the British Empire.

A fast paced steampunk adventure of daring do.

Review

"This is an adventure very much reminiscent of the story papers of the late 19th century, with a dash of Wodehousian humour, which makes for a rollicking good read." - British Fantasy Society review
