Book description
'If HBO are looking for a project to follow Game of Thrones,
they need seek no further . . . an epic' Scotsman
The adventure continues in G. W. Dahlquist's The Chemickal
Marriage, the follow up to the popular The Glass Book of Dream
Eaters and The Dark Volume.
Miss Temple, young, wealthy and far away from home, never wanted to
be a heroine. Yet her fianc is dead (admittedly, by her own hand),
her companions slain and her nemesis, the terrifyingly wicked Contessa
Lacquer-Sforza, escaped. It falls on her tiny shoulders to destroy a
deadly cabal whose alchemy threatens to enslave the world. Miss Temple
plots her revenge.
But Dr Svenson and Cardinal Chang are alive, barely - their bodies
corrupted by the poisonous blue glass. Wounded and outnumbered, Miss
Temple, Dr Svenson and Cardinal Chang pursue their enemies through
city slums and glittering palaces as they fight to prevent the cabal's
crushing dominion and unholy marriage between man and machine.
Dahlquist's rip-roaring adventure sees an assassin, an heiress and a
surgeon battle against the world's most unholy evil, in their final quest.
'If HBO are looking for a project to follow Game of Thrones,
they need seek no further . . . an epic which...will only grow in
popularity over the years [thanks to] its virtues, hi-jinks, horror,
decadence and derring-do' Stuart Kelly, Scotsman
'Fantastic. Somewhere between Dickens, Sherlock Holmes and Rider
Haggard. I was in seventh heaven' Kate Mosse, author of
