Publisher's Synopsis
In an alternate 1899...
Monique, resident for as long as she can remember at Shrobbesbury Orphanage, has a strange talent, which she neither understands nor can control. This talent, however, is only supposed to be possessed by men.
Should she conceal her abilities in order to survive, or should she be true to herself? If she hides her gift she will languish, yet if she reveals her true self she will be hunted down and experimented upon by men whose talents outshine her own...
A most peculiar adventure through a fantastical alternative fin de siècle Britain where the darkest creations are those that come from within.
