BlamelessGail Carriger

Historical fantasy romance

Blameless

Book 3 of the The Parasol Protectorate series

Pregnant Alexia Maccon is rejected by her husband because werewolves are believed unable to father children, making her condition appear impossible and scandalous. Dismissed from Queen Victoria's Shadow Council and targeted by London's vampires, she leaves England to prove both her fidelity and the supernatural explanation for her pregnancy. Her journey through France and Italy leads toward the Templars and deeper questions about her preternatural father's past. Comic despite its emotional rupture, this steampunk adventure suits readers who enjoy European chases, estranged spouses, supernatural biology, loyal eccentrics, and heroines who answer social disgrace and assassination attempts with stubborn inquiry.
