THE DEAD DON'T STAY DEAD-ESPECIALLY ROYALTY.London, 1830. The city teems with secrets, science, and shadows-and one of those shadows just opened her eyes on an anatomist's slab.She says her name is Victoria. She insists she's a princess. But she's missing her teeth, wrapped in a burial shroud, and undeniably... dead. Or was.Thrown together with a streetwise orphan named Pablo, a skeptical doctor, and a tavern keeper with secrets of her own, this strange girl unravels a conspiracy that stretches from the slums of London to the halls of Kensington Palace. Someone is stealing bodies-not just for science, but for power. And someone else is playing a dangerous game with the soul of the British Empire.Part gothic mystery, part alternate history, The Cadaver Princess is a gripping, witty, and darkly magical tale of resurrection, rebellion, and identity. If Mary Shelley and Terry Pratchett had collaborated on a Victorian X-Files episode, it might have looked something like this.She's not the girl they buried.She's not the girl they crowned.She's something else entirely.
