Then Drea is adopted as a ward by the influential House Syphen, by the man who orchestrated her future husband’s death and possibly her parents. Every day her life is lived on a knife’s edge. 
  Drea lives at the center of a vast civilization in Drith, a city that has harnessed the power of steam, electricity, and magic. For centuries, the city’s Major Houses have fought a bloody struggle for control over Drith, and Drea is now a pawn in their game. She learns of dark sorcerers, mages, and secret societies that go back hundreds of years. Then a magic-wielding gunslinger, known only as Lady Blackveil, seeks her out, and Drea learns this woman may have the answers to her family’s downfall. 
  The bullets fly and the blades are quick, as Drea Kalder begins to piece together what’s happened to her and her family. And she learns more about The Way, a mystical and philosophical treatise on life. Soon, she begins to grasp at something that no woman in Drith has ever sought before: Control.

  Step into the shadowed corridors of history with "The Complete Addlestone Chronicles," an immersive box set that gathers the enthralling three-part saga of espionage, deep-seated love, and unwavering courage set against the tumultuous backdrop of 1930s Europe. As fascism rises and the world edges closer to war, two British spies, James Harcourt-Heath and Louise de la Béré, are swept into the heart of darkness, where every shadow harbors threats, and every alliance is tested. 
  Book 1: Addlestone sets the stage in an England under the tightening grip of Adolf Hitler. James and Louise, two Cambridge undergraduates, unwittingly step into the intricate dance of espionage. Their journey through Paris, Munich, Vienna, and Berlin pits them against a sinister Nazi cell on English soil, as they struggle to balance the scales of trust and love against their perilous mission. 
  Book 2: Lebensborn delves deeper into the horrors of Nazi eugenics through the chilling Lebensborn programme, intent on birthing a "Master Race." Now seasoned agents of MI5, James and Louise navigate the deceptive glitter of the 1936 Olympic Games and the shadows of Germany, Italy, and France. Their fight against tyranny intensifies, challenging them to safeguard humanity from a dark future. 
  Book 3: Magdalene reveals the dual horrors of Nazi ambitions and the Irish Magdalene Laundries. In their most personal mission yet, the couple confronts not only external enemies but the insidious abuse within these institutions. From the depths of espionage to the heights of philanthropy, they champion the cause of justice and morality, linking the past's shadows with the present's looming threats.
