The Golden Spider

A Historical Fantasy Romance (Elemental Web Chronicles, Book 1)

Enjoy this romance by USA Today Bestselling historical fantasy author Anne Renwick where you'll unravel mysteries and defy conventions in a world where danger lurks around every corner...

On the foggy streets of Victorian London, secrets and spies hide in a world of gaslamp fantasy.

Lady Amanda blackmailed her way into a prestigious London medical school…

Not the preferred method of entrance, of course, but necessary, for it’s the only way to force Lord Thornton, a professor at the school, to help her perfect her invention: a clockwork spider capable of spinning artificial nerves. And Lord Thornton is interested… but is he interested in Amanda, or simply the invention that could cure his own debilitating injury?

Neither one can trust the other, but both know this: any attraction is a danger, any romance forbidden. But when a foreign spy steals the spider and uses it to perform grisly experiments on human subjects, they must set aside both their differences and their growing attraction to capture the killer terrorizing the streets of London.

I So Much Enjoyed This Book!!!

I love the 2 main characters, both smart as all get out, both stubborn beyond belief, both unwilling to give up thier freedom to choose thier own way in a Victorian society. What is not to love about people like this.
Such a good Book before I was halfway through it, I had already purchased the next book. Excellent Narration on the entire storyline, characters, and build up as things progressed.
