Synopsis
A brand-new, standalone adventure in Leanna Renee Hieber's groundbreaking, critically acclaimed Strangely Beautiful series, full of passion and power.
The Guard have always been with us, their powers passed on from generation to generation. Usually the old and new Guards have no connection, but that all changed when the six became seven and the brooding Alexi Rychman, leader of the Victorian Guard, found himself hopelessly in love with the gentle Percy Parker, who barely understood her own tremendous power.
In Miss Violet and the Great War, Percy and Alexi's daughter, Violet, leads a new Guard onto a new battlefield. Not just a psychic war this time, but a real one, with bullets flying, gas attacks, and death on every side.
Leanna Renee Hieber's debut novel, republished by Tor as Strangely Beautiful, won two Prism Awards and was a critical success. It introduced the concept of gaslamp fantasy--a Victorian world haunted by the supernatural and treated as a plaything by the gods. In Strangely Beautiful and Perilous Prophecy, Hieber gave readers the adventures--and romances--of the Guard, six preternaturally-powered humans who placed themselves between danger and humanity.
Synopsis
PRISM AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR
A superb, standalone adventure in Leanna Renee Hieber's groundbreaking, critically acclaimed Strangely Beautiful series, full of passion and power.
From childhood, Violet Rychman has dreamed of a coming war, of death and battle on an unimaginable scale. She has seen and heard ghosts, who have loved and guided her.
Now the future she dreamed has come to pass. World War I rages across Europe. Millions of people are dying; entire villages are disappearing.
A great and terrible vision sweeps over Violet, offering powers heralded by the Muses of antiquity. The ability to impact people's memories, even shape their thoughts. To guide their souls. To pass between the world of the living and that of the dead and to bring others through that passage.
These and other gifts once belonged to people Violet loved. Now they are hers, and she must use them to attempt to stop death itself.
