The Silver Skull

When science and secrets collide, where cures can kill, and the best intentions lead to deadly peril.


Determined to avoid an arranged marriage, Lady Olivia stowed away inside a dirigible.


Only to find herself imprisoned in a castle with no hope of rescue. So much for proving herself a worthy spy. Worse, survival hinges upon feigning marriage to the suspected double agent she was tailing—the handsome scientist Lord Rathsburn.


A mad count has kidnapped Rathsburn’s sister, and demands as the price of her freedom Rathsburn’s greatest invention: a bone-hardening technology to transform the count’s guardsmen into invincible soldiers.


Neither can trust the other. But their lives depend on working together: to keep their captors off-balance long enough to perfect Rathsburn’s technology, free his sister, escape the clutches of the count and—most of all—to keep this groundbreaking research out of enemy hands.
