  <default_description>Here begins an extraordinary alliance--and a brutal and tender, shocking, and electrifying adventure to end all adventures.

It starts with a simple note. Roger Bascombe regretfully wishes to inform Celeste Temple that their engagement is forthwith terminated. Determined to find out why, Miss Temple takes the first step in a journey that will propel her into a dizzyingly seductive, utterly shocking world beyond her imagining--and set her on a collision course with a killer and a spy--in a bodice-ripping, action-packed roller-coaster ride of suspense, betrayal, and richly fevered dreams.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[best thing I've read in ages.  Tore through it like a madwoman, the same with the second one.  The Dark Volume (number 3 in the series) became a little tedious in places but I love the characters so much that I don't really care.  The Dark Volume also didn't answer all my questions - his style is lo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76539506">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Fun rompy read.  Sort of reminded me of the Dark Materials books and Indiana Jones. <br/>A lot going on at the same time, and the story is told from multiple perspectives which retell the same period of time from each vantage.  Like that sentence I just wrote, it's a bit confusing.  I'm not a stick...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59150689">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If you don't like complicated plots, this is not the book for you. <br/>I really liked each of the characters in the book, enough so that I want to keep reading and find out what happens to them. However, I can see how this book would be frustrating because there really is no ending. And there are ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51590140">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a rollicking adventure fantasy set in pseudo-Victorian times involving a host of villains and three intriguing protagonists: Miss Temple, Cardinal Chang, and Dr. Svenson. Admittedly, the text is in need of editing - repetition is especially a problem in the first Svenson chapter - and the gr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62971262">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One of the things I liked best about this book was the chapter organization. Each chapter was a different persons perspective or at a specific location, I find this much better than numerous chapters that seem to have no rhyme or reason. The story itself is also interesting and provides enough detai...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58103312">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is rather unusual, I wasn't sure how to rate it. I ripped through the first (long) chapter pretty quickly, and then got stuck on the second chapter, which seemed to be going nowhere. Things picked up slightly in the third chapter, then by the fourth (when the primary characters were inevit...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44761116">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm not sure what to think about this book.  It was a mix of adventure, science fiction, and romantic suspense. The plot was imaginative, but the story was somewhat convoluted.  The heroine, Celeste Temple, made only a few appearances in the book, then disappeared.  I'm intrigued by the story and wi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45246602">more...</a>]]></body>
