Alexia Tarabotti is labouring under a great many social tribulations. First, she has no soul.
Second, she's a spinster whose father is both Italian and dead. Third, she was rudely
attacked by a vampire, breaking all standards of social etiquette.
Where to go from there? 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. Can she figure out what is actually happening to London's high
society? Will her soulless ability to negate supernatural powers prove useful or just plain
embarrassing? Finally, who is the real enemy, and do they have treacle tart?
SOULLESS is a comedy of manners set in Victorian London: full of werewolves, vampires,
dirigibles, and tea-drinking. Highly recommended.
