Monica Orvan (Conjuror Girl, Book Two)

In an alternate 1900...

Monica Orvan, banished from Shrobbesbury Orphanage, decides to reforge herself in accordance with the talent she has. But the cruel orphanage master is now a man she loathes; and he is searching for her.

With her best friend Lily and the painter Henri Manguin, Monica must bring to justice those who have wounded her, yet remain at large in Shrobbesbury in order to succeed. But it is within herself that the real danger lies...

Book two in the Conjuror Girl trilogy, a most peculiar adventure through a fantastical alternative fin de siècle Britain where the darkest creations are those that come from within.
