What has Sister Rose Caldwell been up to the past two years? New Job - New House - New Enemies Rose, Violet, and little Rosie have been settling into fancy new digs in upscale Paddington. While remodeling a haunted house into a new reliquary and studio arcana is fun, one needs to take a break occasionally.

Things get really weird when the quirky recluse, Preston Gilchrist shows up on her doorstep after three years living as a shut in. Leaving Gilchrist Manor initiates an adventure that crosses the globe in an old airship piloted by the famous Vanderbilt, Valkyrie Reidun Falk, with stops in Berlin, Constantinople, and Konigsberg.

Along the way their paths cross with actual historical characters - Sir James Maxwell and Thomas Edison, as well as mythological creatures and characters.
