The Clockwork Leviathan

A young woman in South London is dragged across the multiverse in this whirlwind neo-Dickensian fantasy adventure packed with steampunk beetles, eldritch capitalist monsters and occult Soviet cosmonauts, from the bestselling author of The Lighthouse at the End of the World Perfect for fans of Alan Moore and V. E. Schwab. Cecile McLellen's life is a drag. Her shelf-stacking job is drudgery, her boyfriend an idiot and her lucky brother is off god-knows-where. So it's a pleasant surprise when, one night, she discovers a blue-glowing intruder named Nonesuch in the act of stealing a seaside souvenir, who promptly whisks Cecile off to Greater London, a parallel version of Cecile's own city. But Cecile has no time to marvel at her new reality – Greater London is in the middle of a civil war between the East India Company and the City, and her brother is caught up in the middle of it. Worse than that, a bigger threat is looming on the horizon, the cosmic entity Leviathan who wields a terrifying and impossible army. Along with the seemingly ageless escapist Marya Petrovna, a talking VW Beetle and the grumpy daughter of a god-emperor, Cecile must face occult Soviet cosmonauts, memetic armies and perhaps worst of all, capitalism; otherwise everyone, everywhere is doomed. At least it's not another shift in the supermarket, right? Return to the visionary Cities of the Drift in this standalone fantasy adventure, and prepare to immerse yourself, once more, in a multiverse of Londons.
