YABelles series.
Camille, Rémy, and Edel (The Belles) work with an underground resistance movement to return the rightful heir to the throne, while Camille attains even greater supernatural abilities. Clayton further develops the world-building of Orléans with a wider landscape, more steampunk-meets-magic technology, and new details of Orléansian spiritual beliefs. Fans will eagerly revisit this lavishly imagined, immersive fantasy realm, which Clayton effectively uses to critique several ugly aspects of our own society.
