What this book is about

Alexia Tarabotti is a preternatural — she has no soul, and her touch suppresses supernatural abilities. In Victorian London, where werewolves and vampires are integrated into polite society, this makes her an anomaly. When rogue supernaturals start appearing in London, Alexia and the gruff werewolf Lord Maccon are forced to work together. Soulless is a comic steampunk Victorian romance — light, witty, and warm.
