[Chuzzlewit Chronicles 01] • The Perilous In-Between

Even the sky has secrets.

Victoria Digby's life in Chuzzlewit is picturesque. Ideal. Born to a good family, she's also the star pilot in the Aviatory's Protection Program, one of five young ladies assigned to protect their town from the Kreak - a deadly mechanical creature residing in the nearby ocean.

Enter Graham Birkley, a peculiar boy claiming to be from a strange place Victoria has never heard of either. The more she gets to know Graham, the more she loses not only her heart, but also all senses of security about the life she thought she loved.

Graham knows secrets about people, things he couldn't possibly know, including a secret about Victoria that she has yet to uncover. Mostly, Graham knows what the sky is hiding. And when he tells her the truth, getting rid of the Kreak is no longer Victoria's biggest problem.

Getting out of her town is.

Fans of The Paper Magician and The Infernal Devices won't want to miss this dazzling romp in a steampunk, fantastical Victorian world. ****
