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

Given the power over the undead in an England overrun with zombies, how far will one man go to get his inheritance back?

Byron Ulysses Llewellyn-Cave is a disinherited cad with the strange ability to control the undead corpses that have been plaguing steampunk Victorian England for years. He finds Marietta, a bird-watcher and assassin extraordinaire, and together they calamitously careen through a zombie-parts black market, fight a swashbuckling Spaniard who's allergic to the walking dead, and outwit a mad scientist trying to restore life to the ramshackle corpses.

All in the pursuit of a bounty given by Victoria herself that will make all of Byron's problems go away.

Long live Byron the Cad. The Cad is dead.
