The Silver Skull
Tungkol sa audiobook na ito
When science and secrets collide, where cures can kill, and the best intentions lead to deadly peril
Determined to avoid an arranged marriage, Lady Olivia stowed away inside a dirigible.
Only to find herself imprisoned in a castle with no hope of rescue. So much for proving herself a worthy spy. Worse, survival hinges upon feigning marriage to the suspected double agent she was tailing—the handsome scientist Lord Rathsburn.
A mad count has kidnapped Rathsburn’s sister, and demands as the price of her freedom Rathsburn’s greatest invention: a bone-hardening technology to transform the count’s guardsmen into invincible soldiers.
Neither can trust the other. But their lives depend on working together: to keep their captors off-balance long enough to perfect Rathsburn’s technology, free his sister, escape the clutches of the count and—most of all—to keep this groundbreaking research out of enemy hands.

ANNE RENWICK holds a Ph.D. in biology and greatly enjoyed tormenting the overburdened undergraduates who were her students, fiction has always been her first love. Today, she writes steampunk romance, placing a new kind of biotech in the hands of mad scientists, proper young ladies and determined villains.
Anne brings an unusual perspective to steampunk. A number of years spent locked inside the bowels of a biological research facility left her permanently altered. In her steampunk world, the Victorian fascination with all things anatomical led to a number of alarming biotechnological advances. Ones that the enemies of Britain would dearly love to possess.
