THE LOOM OF MS. JENNY Book Three of the StainedSteam Saga Victorian London's shadows grow deeper as William Blackwood, the city's preeminent supernatural investigator, faces his most challenging case yet. When children and women begin disappearing and supernatural activity surges, the trail leads to an artifact of unimaginable power: the Loom of Fate, an ancient device capable of reshaping reality itself. Blessed—or cursed—with lycanthropy, William straddles two worlds: the mundane realm of Scotland Yard investigations and London's hidden supernatural society. But when he discovers a conspiracy centered around this mysterious loom, both worlds face an unprecedented threat. Lord Everett Wentworth, a centuries-old vampire aristocrat, seeks the Loom of Fate for his own dark purposes. As William races to stop him, he must rely on his trusted allies: Thaddeus, a scholarly vampire hunter; Jaxon, an eccentric occult expert; the powerful Crimson Paw werewolf pack; and Inspector Graves, a skeptical Scotland Yard detective who refuses to believe in the supernatural. With London's fate hanging in the balance, William must confront not only external enemies but also his own nature. Can he maintain his humanity while embracing the wolf within? And what sacrifices must he make to protect both the human and supernatural worlds he calls home? "The Loom of Ms. Jenny" continues the thrilling StainedSteam Saga, and masterfully launches an atmospheric third book that blends Victorian gothic mystery with urban fantasy. The story weaves a tale of magic, loyalty, and redemption, creating a richly detailed world where gaslights and grimoires coexist, and where one man's determination might be all that stands between London and chaos. Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files and Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series.

A beautifully observed history of the British home front during the Napoleonic Wars by a celebrated historian We know the thrilling, terrible stories of the battles of the Napoleonic Wars—but what of those left behind? The people on a Norfolk farm, in a Yorkshire mill, a Welsh iron foundry, an Irish village, a London bank, a Scottish mountain? The aristocrats and paupers, old and young, butchers and bakers and candlestick makers—how did the war touch their lives? Jenny Uglow, the prizewinning author of The Lunar Men and Nature's Engraver, follows the gripping back-and-forth of the first global war but turns the news upside down, seeing how it reached the people. Illustrated by the satires of Gillray and Rowlandson and the paintings of Turner and Constable, and combining the familiar voices of Austen, Wordsworth, Scott, and Byron with others lost in the crowd, In These Times delves into the archives to tell the moving story of how people lived and loved and sang and wrote, struggling through hard times and opening new horizons that would change their country for a century.
