Miss Violet and the Great War

A brand-new, standalone adventure in Leanna Renee Hieber's groundbreaking, critically acclaimed Strangely Beautiful series, full of passion and power.

The Guard have always been with us, their powers passed on from generation to generation. Usually the old and new Guards have no connection, but that all changed when the six became seven and the brooding Alexi Rychman, leader of the Victorian Guard, found himself hopelessly in love with the gentle Percy Parker, who barely understood her own tremendous power.

In Miss Violet and the Great War, Percy and Alexi's daughter, Violet, leads a new Guard onto a new battlefield. Not just a psychic war this time, but a real one, with bullets flying, gas attacks, and death on every side.

Leanna Renee Hieber's debut novel, republished by Tor as Strangely Beautiful, won two Prism Awards and was a critical success. It introduced the concept of gaslamp fantasy--a Victorian world haunted by the supernatural and treated as a plaything by the gods. In Strangely Beautiful and Perilous Prophecy, Hieber gave readers the adventures--and romances--of the Guard, six preternaturally-powered humans who placed themselves between danger and humanity.

O aventura nou-nouta, independenta, in seria inovatoare, aclamata de critici, a Leannei Renee Hieber, Strangely Beautiful, plina de pasiune si putere. Garda a fost intotdeauna alaturi de noi, puterile lor fiind transmise din generatie in generatie. De obicei, vechii si noii garzi nu au nicio legatura, dar toate acestea s-au schimbat cand cei sase au devenit sapte si inflacaratul Alexi Rychman, liderul garzii victoriene, s-a trezit indragostit fara speranta de blandul Percy Parker, care abia intelegea propria sa putere extraordinara. In Miss Violet and the Great War, fiica lui Percy si Alexi, Violet, conduce o noua garda pe un nou camp de lupta.
