bestselling author Owen King comes a Dickensian fantasy of illusion and charm where cats are
revered as religious figures  thieves are noble  scholars are revolutionaries  and conjurers
are the most wonderful criminals you can imagine.It begins in an unnamed city nicknamed the
Fairest  it is distinguished by many things from the river fair to the mountains that split the
municipality in half  its theaters and many museums  the Morgue Ship  and  like all cities  but
maybe especially so  by its essential unmappability.Dora  a former domestic servant at the
university has a secret desire-to find where her brother went after he died  believing that the
answer lies within The Museum of Psykical Research  where he worked when Dora was a child. With
the city amidst a revolutionary upheaval  where citizens like Robert Barnes  her lover and a
student radical  are now in positions of authority  Dora contrives to gain the curatorship of
the half-forgotten museum only to find it all but burnt to the ground  with the neighboring
museums oddly untouched. Robert offers her one of these  The National Museum of the Worker.
However  neither this museum  nor the street it is hidden away on  nor Dora herself  are what
they at first appear to be. Set against the backdrop of a nation on the verge of collapse 
Dora's search for the truth behind the mystery she's long concealed will unravel a monstrous
conspiracy and bring her to the edge of worlds.Praise for Owen King:King writes with witty
verve. -Entertainment Weekly[Owen King] has a captivating energy  a precision and a fondness
