Clockwork Menagerie: A Shadows of Asphodel Novella
by Karen Kincy
1914. Konstantin would love to hide in his laboratory and dissect the
clockwork dragon captured from Russia, but the Archmages of Vienna have
other plans. He finds himself shipped off to St. Petersburg as the
scientific attaché to an ambassador. His orders? Look, but don't touch.
Of course, he considers this an impossible request with so much enemy
technomancy to explore.
To make matters worse, Konstantin has to work with the dashing
zeppelin commander Himmel, a man who should also be untouchable. They
can't act on the smoldering attraction between them without risking it
all. Faced with an illegal relationship and a devious rival
technomancer, Konstantin might not return from this mission in Russia
without conquering the forbidden.
