AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The extravagant by-product of a sibling feud.

The laboratory of a genius studying gods.

The toy of a wealthy eccentric.

Ned's new school.

Tangleways.

Lord Fennington's experimental school, built on the old Tangleways estate, had been set for monumental failure. Folly Fennington's ability to throw an excellent party had convinced few parents to entrust their children to his theories on education...until the Queen herself had endorsed the school by allowing her daughter to attend.

Among the crowds of ambitious students anxious to scrape acquaintance with the royal heir, all Eluned Tenning wants is to keep her head down, work quietly on her portfolio, and support her sister's romance. Not such an easy goal when Eluned's sister is in love with Princess Celestine, her brother is determined to uncover every secret of the estate's chequered past, and the newspapers are full of stories about the Tennings' slightly-vampiric aunt.

When the success of the school is threatened by a spate of petty vandalism, Eluned finds herself at the centre of a complicated web of friendship and rivalry. Wanting to fit in will not keep her safe from jealousy. Kissing. Mystery.'

Notes

  • Steampunk note: These stories of this series are set in a dramatically different alternate history universe - that is, the points of divergence are far larger and earlier that is typically found in alternate history steampunk. The presence of magic creates further divergence, but plays well with the more traditionally steampunk elements of the story, such as inventors and inventions, advanced yet anachronistic technology, and the concerns of imperial power.
