Atahualpa’s Mummy: Book 1 of the Harrogate Chronicles

When Queen Victoria believes Napoleon II, the French Emperor, is after an ancient Incan artifact that grants invincibility to whatever army possesses it, she sends her best agent, Lady Esmeralda Eggerton, Countess of Harrogate, to recover it first. But Queen Airmed of the Fae, the hidden people of Tír na nÓg, has her own plans for the artifact, sending her half-human Shadow agent, Kinzalynn, on a similar mission. Though adversaries, Esme and Kinzy must overcome their mutual distrust and work together before the power of Atahualpa’s mummy falls into the hands of Bonaparte and destroys both their worlds.

Bonus Story Included in Atahualpa’s Mummy:

Tea Cakes and Kraken Bait: Novella 1.5 of The Harrogate Chronicles

Miss Kinzalynn Quinn, covert Fae attaché to the British court, tags along when her friend Lady Esmeralda Eggerton, Countess of Harrogate, is sent by Queen Victoria to deal with the disaster at the Berneray Mining Station. Can the ladies discover what’s really wrong at the bottom of the briny deep? Or will the cold North Sea claim even more victims?
