The Rare Chap Chronicles In a roaring-steam 1920s metropolis where women run the guilds, command the skies and outnumber men a hundred to one, a single misplaced bow is legally a marriage proposal. Into this clock-work matriarchy tumbles Harold “Hal” Forsythe—modern British tinkerer, accidental heart-throb and the first freeborn man the capital has seen in three years. Declared “decorative inventory” by his tyrannical Aunt Effie, Hal would much rather earn a proper craft-licence, upgrade his dead-panned automaton valet and sip espresso in peace. Instead he’s auctioned off to ambitious duchesses, pursued by an aquamarine-haired air-commodore, and courted (with paperwork) by the dazzling Grandmaster Engineer Lady Octavia Brasswell—all while his kettle-powered gadgets keep rewriting the rules of rune-driven technology. From dirigible duels and dragon-shaped automatons to guild coups conducted with custard bombs, Hal’s quest for a dash of autonomy may just ignite a social revolution—assuming he survives the paparazzi humming-birds, the Guild Council’s “Male Stability Act,” and the small matter of choosing up to four officially approved wives. Think P. G. Wodehouse let loose in a steampunk isekai and you’ll be “decidedly, permanently—gruntled.”
