Amberlough

Amberlough is a spy thriller that takes place in an eponymous fantasy nation, which largely takes its aesthetic from early twentieth century Europe (if steampunk is based on Victorian England, maybe we could call this Belle Epunque?). It features a spy named Cyril, his lover, jazzy burlesque dancers, and the rising spectre of a fascist party that could threaten everything they hold dear. Amberlough was a fabulous, fantastic read that felt chilling and topical, with three-dimensional characters that weren't afraid to show you their ugly side.
