London was supposed to hold the answers. Instead, it becomes a trap.

When Arka and Maya arrive in the capital, their escort is captured, mechanical hounds stalk the streets, and invisible threads bind innocent people to the will of the Order of the Black Raven.

Their only unexpected ally is Lady Vespera—the woman who nearly destroyed their home.

Beneath the River Thames waits the Meridian Engine, a machine designed to turn an entire city into obedient puppets. It has remained silent for twelve years. Now its master has found the one person who can awaken it.

Arka.

To rescue their friend and uncover the truth about his family, Arka and Maya must enter the Order’s hidden stronghold. But unlocking the past could cost Arka his future—and Maya refuses to let her best friend become a machine’s sacrifice.

Arka and the Meridian Engine brings The Gaslight Mysteries trilogy to its conclusion with dangerous inventions, difficult loyalties, and one final illusion that could give London back its freedom.

An illustrated Victorian fantasy mystery about friendship, courage, and the right to choose your own path.
