Description
London, 1914: The leaders of the radical women’s rights movement are fugitives from the law. Their last line of defense is the secret society of “Amazons”: women trained in the martial art of bartitsu and sworn to defend their leaders from arrest and assault.
After a series of daring escapes and battles with the police, the stakes rise dramatically when the Amazons are forced into a deadly game of cat and mouse against an aristocratic, utopian cult.
Presenting:
• Persephone Wright, a “fallen woman” who will protect those
she loves at all costs
• Flossie” Le Mar, a rough-diamond adventuress from
New Zealand
• Katie “Sandwina” Brumbach, a fiercely loyal Austrian wrestler
and strongwoman
• Toupie Lowther, a cunning, cross-dressing woman of
means
• Judith Lee, a proud Anglo-Chinese socialite and amateur
detective
• Kitty Marshall, a quick-witted teenager who keeps her radicalism
secret from her wealthy family
• Miss Sanderson, an enigmatic “governess”
with an appetite for violence

Advance Praise
“A solid grounding in the actual events of the day makes for an excellent springboard into a tale of international intrigue and adventure. There’s a big twist in the first issue that moves the story from canonical to alternative history. I can’t tell you what it is, but I can tell you it left me breathless.” —J.D. Horn, author of the Witching Savannah series
“By the time I was finished with the first installment of this three-part series (which includes a pretty shocking twist that got me checking my history books) I found myself absolutely beguiled by Tony Wolf’s story and the *ss-kicking women inhabiting its pages. Joao Vieira’s illustrations are beautiful, the story tight and enthralling. I absolutely recommend this and I can’t wait to read the next two issues.” —Paul Antony Jones, author of the Extinction Point series
“A bracing inroad into this more unusual aspect of the women’s suffrage campaign. It coincides with the resurgence of interest in the women’s suffrage movement and the ongoing fascination with Neo-Victorian studies. At the same time, the novel’s breathless pace leads, with the author’s sleight of hand, to an eerie denouement which demands us to think on beyond the pages.” —Dr. Emelyne Godfrey, author of From Dagger Fans to Suffragettes: Femininity, Crime and Self-Defense in Victorian Literature and Society
