City of Shadows: Part One: A Post-Steampunk Lovecraft Adventure: From the World of the Atomic Sea
Jack Conner
4.5 Stars (20 Reviews)
Genre: Fantasy | Science Fiction

FREE for a limited time

Anything can happen in the mysterious, shadow-shrouded city of Lavorgna, an industrial metropolis in a strange world (the same world as “The Atomic Sea”), where the sinister Guild of Alchemists hold sway over the government and underground doctors bring the dead back to life. Here streetwise fifteen-year-old orphan Stevrin is thrown into a deadly stew of murders, disappearances, prostitutes, the undead and more otherworldly dangers. Soon it becomes apparent that it’s up to him to save not only Lavorgna, but the world.

Enjoy the tale of Stevrin as he seeks to unravel the lethal strangeness gripping the city. Disappearances, earthquakes, insidious gas and shadows prowling the night are just the beginning. Living at a brothel and doing chores for the girls in exchange for a bed and meals, Stevrin doesn’t know what he’s getting into when the brothel’s madam — and possible witch — Agatha dispatches him to investigate the series of odd occurrences. Before long it’s clear that if he doesn’t figure out what’s going on — and stop it — the whole world will be engulfed in horror.

An Amish settlement in Ohio has run afoul of a law requiring their children to attend public school.

Searching for a place to relocate his family where no such laws apply, Caleb learns there’s inexpensive land for sale in Mexico, a place called Paradise Valley. Despite rumors of instability in the wake of the Mexican revolution, the Amish community decides this is their answer. And since it was Caleb’s idea, he and his family will be the pioneers. They will send for the others once he’s established a foothold and assessed the situation. Caleb’s daughters are thrown into turmoil. Rachel doesn’t want to leave Jake. Her sister, Emma, who has been courting Levi Mullet, fears her dreams of marriage will be dashed. Miriam has never had a beau and is acutely aware there will be no prospects in Mexico. Once there, they meet Domingo, a young man and guide who takes a liking to Miriam, something her father would never approve.
