Evelina Cooper, the niece of the great Sherlock Holmes, is poised to enjoy her first Season in London Society. But thereâs a murderer to deal withânot to mention missing automatons, a sorcerer, and a talking mouse.
Â
In a Victorian era ruled by a council of ruthless steam barons, mechanical power is the real monarch and sorcery the demon enemy of the Empire. Nevertheless, the most coveted weapon is magic that can run machinesâsomething Evelina has secretly mastered. But rather than making her fortune, her special talents could mean death or an eternity as a guest of Her Majestyâs secret laboratories. Whatâs a polite young lady to do but mind her manners and pray sheâs never found out?
Â
But then thereâs that murder. As Sherlock Holmesâs niece, Evelina should be able to find the answers, but she has a lot to learn. And the first decision she has to make is whether to trust the handsome, clever rake who makes her breath come faster, or the dashing trick rider who would dare anything for her if she would only just ask.
Praise for A Study in Silks
Â
âThis book has just about everything: magic, machines, mystery, mayhem, and all the danger one expects when peopleâs loves and fears collide. I canât wait to return to the world of Evelina Cooper!ââKevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles
Â
âAs Sherlock Holmesâs niece, investigating murder while navigating the complicated shoals of Societyâand romanceâin an alternate Victorian England, Evelina Cooper is a charming addition to the canon.ââJacqueline Carey, New York Times bestselling author of the Kushielâs Legacy series
Â
âHolloway takes us for quite a ride, as her plot snakes through an alternate Victorian England full of intrigue, romance, murder, and tiny sandwiches. Full of both thrills and frills.ââNicole Peeler, author of the Jane True series
Â
âA Study in Silks is a charming, adventurous ride with a heroine who is both clever and talented. The brushes with the Sherlock Holmes mythos only add to the fun of this tale, and readers are bound to fall in love with Evelina and the London she inhabits.ââPhilippa Ballantine, author of Geist
Â
âIn A Study in Silks, Emma Jane Holloway has created a wonderful reimagining of the Sherlock Holmes mythos set in a late-Victorian Britain ruled by nefarious industrial titans called steam barons. Hollowayâs clever writing, attention to detail, and sublime characters forge a fascinating world that combines brass-plated steampunk technology with magic. By turns a coming-of-age story, a gas-lamp thriller, and a whimsical magical fantasy, A Study in Silks is the premiere novel of an author to watch.ââSusan Griffith, author of the Vampire Empire series
Â
âHolloway stuffs her adventure with an abundance of characters and ideas and fills her heroine with talents and graces, all within a fun, brisk narrative.ââPublishers Weekly
Â
âSplendid . . . The characters are thoroughly charming and the worldbuilding is first-rate.ââRT Book Reviews (four stars)

Ever since childhood, Emma Jane Holloway refused to accept that history was nothing but facts imprisoned behind the closed door of time. Why waste a perfectly good playground coloring within the time lines? Accordingly, her novels are filled with whimsical impossibilities and the occasional eye-blinking impertinenceâbut always in the service of grand adventure.
Â
An award-winning author of both historical and urban-fantasy romance, Holloway has an honors degree in English literature. Writing as Sharon Ashwood, she won the RITA award for paranormal romance for the third book of her Dark Forgotten series. She lives in the Pacific Northwest and is owned by the Demon Lord of Kitty Badness.
