Star-Crossed: The Confounding Calamities of Byron the Cad and Marietta the Zombie

Given the power over the undead in a London over-run with zombies, how far will one man go to get his inheritance back?

Byron Ulysses Llewellyn-Cave is a disinherited cad with a strange ability to control the undead corpses that have been plaguing a steampunk Victorian England for years. But when he turns Marietta, a bird-watcher and assassin extraordinaire, into a self-aware zombie, Byron must trudge through black markets that sell illicit zombie parts, fight a swashbuckling Spaniard who’s allergic to the walking dead, and outwit a mad scientist trying to restore the dead, in order to get his good name and fortunes back from his scheming Uncle. Using his wit, his ability to manipulate those around him, and his uncanny sense of humor, Byron will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
