In the fourth installment of the Heartless Parasol Protectorate series, Lady Alexia Maccon, who is known for her lack of a soul, finds herself in another predicament. However, this time, the trouble is not of her own making. When a deranged ghost threatens the safety of the queen, Alexia takes it upon herself to solve the case. Her investigation leads her down a path that delves deep into her husband's past. As if that wasn't enough, her sister has joined the suffragette movement, Madame Lefoux has created a new mechanical invention that shocks everyone, and there is even a plague of zombie porcupines to deal with. With all of these distractions, it's a wonder Alexia can even remember that she is eight months pregnant. Will she be able to uncover the identity of the person trying to harm Queen Victoria before it's too late? Is it the vampires again or could there be a traitor among them disguised as a werewolf? And what mysterious creature has taken up residence in Lord Akeldama's second best closet?
