The Queen Is Dead

“Grand fun for urban fantasy fans,” this steampunk novel set in an alternate England features in an immortal aristorcracy and a royal guard turned queen (Library Journal).

Xandra Vardan is the newly crowned Goblin Queen of England. Which makes her already complicated life even more so.

There are the political factions vying for her favor, and the all-too-close scrutiny of Queen Victoria, who wants her head. Not to mention her werewolf boyfriend has demands of his own, and her mother is hell-bent on destroying the monarchy. Now she's the main suspect in a murder investigation — and Xandra barely knows which way is up.

What she does know is that nothing lasts forever — and immortality isn't all its cracked up to be.
