A Conspiracy of Alchemists by Liesel Schwarz

A Conspiracy of Alchemists (Chronicles of Light and Shadow, #1)

by Liesel Schwarz

In a Golden Age where spark reactors power the airways, and creatures of Light and Shadow walk openly among us, a deadly game of Alchemists and Warlocks has begun.

When an unusual cargo drags airship-pilot Elle Chance into the affairs of the mysterious Mr Marsh, she must confront her destiny and do everything in her power to stop the Alchemists from unleashing a magical apocalypse.

Combining the best elements of nineteenth century gothic fiction with contemporary Steampunk, adventure, romance and the supernatural, Liesel Schwarz has crafted a truly exceptional debut, the first book in The Chronicles of Light and Shadow trilogy.

Almost 4 star, sometimes I wanted more back story and more. Occasionally it felt bogged down.

Good Steampunk novel with a decent respect for the historical era.
