Lord Byron's Curse
ByPublisher Description
Never underestimate the power of an outraged female.
Hoping to transfer his poetic genius into a more perfect body and live forever, Lord Byron trapped the furious energy of wronged women in a blue crystal stolen from a statue of the Hindu goddess Kali. A murderous cult has grown up around the crystal, trying to bring the poet king back to life.
In June 1838 a necromancer hopes to use the cult to regain the positions in Parliament he used to control. With the angry energy of the crystal, he can fuel an impossible weapon for the assassination of Queen Victoria during her coronation.
After destroying Byron's transference engine, Madame Magdala has been forced to reinvent herself to escape the cult's vengeance. Twenty years later her visions predict a dangerous pattern that will lead to the fall of the government and chaos.
Along with an army of guttersnipes, she has only her wits and her bulletproof corset to confront the necromancer and save England from total destruction.

About Irene Radford
Irene Radford has been writing stories ever since she figured out what a pencil was for. A member of an endangered species—a native Oregonian who lives in Oregon—she and her husband make their home in Welches, Oregon where deer, bears, coyotes, hawks, owls, and woodpeckers feed regularly on their back deck.
A museum trained historian, Irene has spent many hours prowling pioneer cemeteries deepening her connections to the past. Raised in a military family she grew up all over the US and learned early on that books are friends that don’t get left behind with a move. Her interests and reading range from ancient history, to spiritual meditations, to space stations, and a whole lot in between.
Mostly Irene writes fantasy and historical fantasy including the best-selling Dragon Nimbus Series. In other lifetimes she writes urban fantasy as P.R. Frost and space opera as C.F. Bentley.
