Alexia Tarabotti is facing several societal challenges.
First, she has no soul. Second, she's a spinster whose father is both Italian and dead. Third, she was rudely accosted, violating every social norm, by a vampire.
What should I do next? From bad to worse apparently, for Alexia accidentally kills the vampire--and then the appalling Lord Maccon (loud, messy, gorgeous, and werewolf) is sent by Queen Victoria to investigate.
With unexpected vampires appearing and expected vampires disappearing, everyone seems to believe Alexia responsible. Is she able to discover the true nature of the crisis affecting London's elite society? Will her soulless ability to negate supernatural powers prove useful or just plain embarrassing? And lastly, do they own treacle tart and who is the true enemy?
