It is a time of gaslamps and regularly scheduled airship flights, of trams and steam-driven clockwork with countless smoke-belching stacks. London, the capitol of the Empire of the Lion, is a filthy, crowded, fast-growing city where a series of shocking murders threatens the throne itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnergetic young inventor Jack Straker believes he has created a weapon to defend the Crown: a reanimated, clockwork-enhanced corpse he can control. He introduces \"the Iron Assassin\" to the highly placed Lords who will decide if Straker's invention becomes a weapon of the Lion-or something to be destroyed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt quickly becomes apparent that the Iron Assassin is more self-willed than Straker intended, and that the zombie's past life is far more sinister than Straker thought. Has he created a runaway monster? Or the best guardian the Lion could ever hope for?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ed Greenwood (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":43468125929632,"sku":"9780765338471","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/products\/BNCImageAPI_9fc3a8b1-ffd7-4f4e-9138-e82235efa9d5.jpg?v=1678391503","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780765338471","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
