Soulless
Dust jacket by Michael Wm. Kaluta
Alexia Tarabotti is a proper English miss—so long as you don’t count her spinsterhood, half-Italian heritage, or weaponized parasol against her. Oh, and there’s that little matter of her lacking a soul. But, honestly, isn’t being soulless and thus able to nullify the powers of vampires and werewolves and other supernatural beings a good thing in a London chockful of them?
Her soulless state seems particularly handy when Alexia is accosted alone in a library by a vampire intent on her neck. She dispatches him with the help of her preternatural powers…and handy parasol. But not only has the fanged ruffian ruined her treacle tart, his untimely demise brings to the scene Lord Conall Maccon, werewolf Alpha and investigator for the Bureau of Unnatural Registry (and as handsome as he is vexing). The incident is followed by a veritable plague of unexplained new vampires and old ones suddenly disappearing across London society. And, unfortunately, Alexia herself becomes the chief suspect.
New York Times’ bestselling author Gail Carriger’s Soulless introduced a legion of readers to the delightfully romantic Victorian steampunk world of her acclaimed Parasol Protectorate series. Revisit the start of this acclaimed and singular series in this exclusive limited edition.

Fan Service
This collector's special Fan Service omnibus contains stories specifically tailored to honor Gail Carriger's most devoted fans. The collection answers the three most common questions readers have after reading the Parasol Protectorate series...
Will Madame Lefoux find herself a lady at last?
Do Biffy and Lyall ever get back together?
What exactly happened when Alexia met Conall and the hedgehog?
It includes previously published Supernatural Society Novellas: Romancing the Inventor, Romancing the Werewolf. And an all new and never before seen novelette: Meat Cute AKA The Hedgehog Incident.
In Romancing the Inventor, Imogene Hale is a lowly parlourmaid with a soul-crushing secret. Seeking solace, she takes work at a local vampire hive, only to fall desperately in love with the amazing lady inventor imprisoned in the potting shed.
In Romancing the Werewolf, Professor Randolph Lyall returns home to London after twenty years abroad, afraid of what he might find. With his pack in chaos and his beloved Alpha Biffy in crisis, it will take all his Beta efficiency to set everything to rights.
In Meat Cute, Alexia Tarabotti attends what seems to be an extraordinarily dull ball, until the new werewolf Alpha turns up, is unconscionably rude to her, and sits on a hedgehog.
From the comedic mind of New York Times bestseller Gail Carriger comes three charming love stories set in her popular steampunk Parasolverse. Featuring a long-awaited reunion, well deserved new loves, and a very surprised hedgehog. Look out for cheeky appearances from other popular characters, not to mention the strategic application of a wicker chicken.
