The Curator

A Dickensian fantasy brimming with illusion and charm—a world where cats are revered, scholars are revolutionaries, thieves are noble, and magicians are the most wondrous criminals of all.

At first glance, the world seems unchanged. Street urchins still play on the two great bridges, and the social elite still flock to the Morgue Ship for a night of amusement.
Yet it takes only a single spark to ignite a revolution.

Seeking the truth about her brother Ambrose, a young maid named Dora joins forces with a group of radical students. But then she is tasked with tending to the Museum of the Worker—a strange, forgotten building filled with disturbingly lifelike wax figures of miners, nurses, and shopkeepers.

As revolution and counter-revolution unleash forces of love and betrayal, magic and terrifying darkness, Dora’s quest uncovers a monstrous conspiracy and takes her to the very edge of the world.

In *The Curator*, Owen King has crafted a fascinating era and an extraordinary setting—historical, fantastical, yet compellingly real—along with a heroine who is brave, curious, and truly remarkable.
