About the book, from the publisher:
Set in 1889, Terra Incognita is an historical fantasy adventure that follows famed explorer Sir Ashmore Bedivere and his assembled companions on an epic quest around the globe to discover Alatyra, the fabled last lost city—perfect for fans of Caleb Carr's The Alienist and Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.Visit Steph Post's website.
New York City, 1889. With her neighborhood engulfed in flames over a turf war, professional pickpocket Lily Vane has nowhere to hide. Out of luck, she steals the wrong piece of jewelry from the wrong man—an ancient ring, owned by gentleman explorer Sir Ashmore Bedivere. He recognizes instantly that Lily's wily criminal talents could prove useful to him and grants her clemency in return for service. Thus Lily's fate is sealed: she finds herself embarking on Ashmore's quest to find Alatyra, the last lost city.
Joining her are Ashmore's cunning wife, Cristabel, and their three business partners. As the six journey from New York City—first to Tangier, then across the Mediterranean and Black Seas, and into the dark forests and mountains of Romania—Lily learns to trust her new companions. But as they draw closer to Alatyra, Ashmore's past sins threaten to swallow the entire expedition whole.
Told in a constellation of voices and forms, Terra Incognita is more than a thrilling historical adventure full of daring heists, stunning reveals, and near-captures; it is an immersive experience.
