"Blending steampunk and urban fantasy in a colorful alternate Victorian England, Carriger presents a grand cast of characters on a harrowing adventure that stretches from England to India. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Soulless Changeless Blameless Heartless Timeless Faced with a dire crisis (and an embarrassing lack of bloomers), Rue must rely on her good breeding - and her metanatural abilities - to get to the bottom of it all. Soon, she stumbles upon a plot involving local dissidents, a kidnapped brigadier's wife, and some awfully familiar Scottish werewolves. When Prudence Alessandra Maccon Akeldama ("Rue" to her friends) is bequeathed an unexpected dirigible, she does what any sensible female under similar circumstances would do - she christens it the Spotted Custard and floats off to India. From NYT bestselling author Gail Carriger comes a witty adventure about a young woman with rare supernatural abilities travels to India for a spot of tea and adventure and finds she's bitten off more than she can chew.
