The Cooking Mage & The Parchment Prankster Part Two - E-book - ePub

Despite the still-fogged future, the Seers have finally Seen if the foreseen four get together, it'll be in Berlin, on 19 July 1890, at the Crown Prince's birthday ball. The conspirators' 15 July to-do list is simple. On or before the 19th: (1) kill the Prince, (2) kill Lord Mouse, and (4) stop the dancing. Or at least succeed with one. Oh, and ignore (3) since they haven't figured out which saint. Revisit a marvelous alternate world of magick and technology, where the every-twenty-years Gunpowder Treaty Renewal Conference is imminent.
There are ongoing plots, both big and not-as-big, agents working under the sheets, Saint Brunhilde of the Blade, Saint Sibast (no, not the pretty one with bondage and arrows), a well-hidden collection of literature (?) for one-hand reading, including drawbooks with anatomically accurate artistry inside, a challenge to make "open, says me" work, the vigorous violation of several Official Secrets Acts, a snarky romance between an Earl and a Prince, a surprise engagement, Mozart and the Guards, the Blue Danube is hummed with perfect pitch following a brief discussion about who leads, a flurry of letters to a duke, a prat, an ambassador, an Inquisitor, and a prisoner in a London cell, plus a very private competition to determine the best at point penetrating and driving it home... And the Grand Ballroom Battle, as the newspapers called it. There's a definite HEA, and although it doesn't fully happen until Part Three, there's lots of fun along the way for a Prince and his Mouse (although said Mouse thinks it's the other way round). Special Preorder Price Goes Up A Dollar After Part Three Release Date: Part One:         September 7, 2022 (99, 071 words of story)Part Two:        September 14, 2022 (114, 098 words of story)Part Three:       September 21, 2022 (146, 996 words of story)
