_The Cadaver Princess_ is now [available from Amazon](https://a.co/d/2Nsqj9p).
**THE DEAD DON’T STAY DEAD—ESPECIALLY ROYALTY.**
London, 1831. The city teems with secrets, science, and shadows—and one of those shadows just opened her eyes on an anatomist’s slab.
She says her name is Victoria. She insists she’s a princess. But she’s missing her teeth, wrapped in a burial shroud, and undeniably… dead. Or was.
Thrown together with a streetwise orphan named Pablo, a skeptical doctor, and a tavern keeper with secrets of her own, this strange girl unravels a conspiracy that stretches from the slums of London to the halls of Kensington Palace. Someone is stealing bodies—not just for science, but for power. And someone else is playing a dangerous game with the soul of the British Empire.
Part gothic mystery, part alternate history, The Cadaver Princess is a gripping, witty, and darkly magical tale of resurrection, rebellion, and identity. If Mary Shelley and Terry Pratchett had collaborated on a Victorian version of _The Princess Bride_, with fewer weddings and more corpses, it might have looked something like this.
“…it is equally clear that vile plots are afoot. The ensuing tale is engrossing and satisfying. Recommended!” — Tom Easton, coauthor of ESPionage: Regime Change and Boondoggle.
Allen Steele agrees: “A dark mélange of fantasy, horror, and history, _The Cadaver Princess_ hooked me on the first page. Like Dickens crossed with Poe, there isn’t anything else quite like it.”
