Description
His touch reminded her of champagne, of something decadent and glistening. She was reminded of other things, too, summer rain, hot coals, the smell of dust and heat. And yet his scent slashed through her, cutting her to the core, whispering to her of something far more ancient than flimsy memories of a former life; something older than her body, older than earth, something written into her DNA from the start.
It was nonsensical, irrational, unscientific. Her mind was splintering into fragmented poetry, lines of lust and ardour. Every rule she'd held irrefutable transmuted itself into insubstantial rumour, the rest of her following. She knew she still had a body because it was falling to crumbs in his hands, but the world was spinning around her at a speed akin to madness, and direction and gravity were lost to her.
Surviving an assassination attempt, Dr Asami Thorne is saved by a mysterious "beast" -- a former soldier left disfigured by the very government trying to kill her. Escaping to the underground beneath the great clockwork city of Petragrad, Asami refuses to spend the rest of her life in the abandoned railroads. She works alongside Beast to uncover the truth behind the experiments that destroyed his life and threaten hers.
But untold horrors await the both of them, and Asami risks far more than losing her life when she finds herself falling for her mysterious saviour...
A dark, sumptuous steampunk tale set in the far-off dystopian future.
Includes scenes of a sexual nature.
