First within an all-new series where seductive danger and steampunk experience abound in the gritty globe of the Iron Seas.

After the Iron Duke freed Britain from Horde control, he instantly became a national hero. Today Rhys Trahaearn has generated a product owner empire over the power-and fear-of his name. And when a dead is dropped from an airship onto his doorstep, bringing Detective Inspector Mina Wentworth into his dangerous world, he intends to make her his next possession.

However when Mina uncovers the victim’s identification, she stumbles upon a conspiracy that threatens the lives of everyone in England. To save them, Mina and Rhys must competition across zombie-infested wastelands and treacherous oceans-and Mina discovers the danger is not only to her countrymen, as she finds herself tempted to stop everything to the Iron Duke.
