Fans of Meljean Brook’s Iron Seas series, this one’s for you.
The Iron Fin by Anne Renwick—Book Three of the Elemental Web Chronicles—just released a brand-new dual POV audiobook recording.Â
It has everything you loved about the Iron Seas world: a richly built Victorian-era setting, biomechanical creatures that are equal parts terrifying and fascinating, a capable heroine who is nobody’s damsel, and a romance that builds as the mystery deepens.
What They Have in Common
Both books are set in a world where science has gone gloriously, dangerously wrong. Brook’s The Kraken King is set in a Victorian England reshaped by nanotech and empire. Renwick’s The Iron Fin is set in an alternate Scotland where biological engineering and steam-powered contraptions collide in unsettling ways.
Both feature heroines who are formidably competent. Zenobia Fox writes the adventures she hasn’t yet lived, and Isa McQuiston is the healer her isolated Scottish coastal community depends on.Â
Both heroes are military men carrying wounds—physical and otherwise.
And both stories have creatures. Glorious, terrifying, mechanically-enhanced creatures rising from the sea.
But while The Kraken King sweeps across the wilds of Australia with airship pirates and political intrigue on a grand scale, The Iron Fin is closer and colder, set on the Scottish shores of the windswept Hebridean Islands, where Isa’s tight-knit selkie-descended community is under attack from strange creatures rising out of the sea.
Men are washing ashore drained of blood, a severed tentacle piercing their flesh. Dr. Alec McCullough, a naval officer sent to investigate, can’t get far without the cooperation of Isa—the local healer and the only person with both the knowledge and the access he needs. She’s wary of outsiders. He’s running out of time. Together they uncover layers of deceit that reach far beyond their remote corner of Scotland.
An All-New Audiobook
Renwick’s newly re-released audiobook is a complete re-recording in dual POV, meaning you’ll hear both Isa and Alec’s inner world voiced aloud as the story unfolds. If you’ve been waiting for the ideal way to experience The Iron Fin, this is it.
The Iron Fin audiobook is available now on Chirp, Kobo, Audible, Apple Books, Spotify and more—including direct from Anne Renwick’s site (use code KRAKEN for 20% off, appropriately enough).
