In the third offering of the Gaslight Chronicles, a novella, Magnus, Baron Findlay of the Isle of Torkholm has been injured while fighting the Kraken, a mythical giant squid that is attacking the island with no provocation. Magnus is carried off by the kraken and lefton the shore of an island in the Hebrides.Dr. Geneva MacKay, daughter of Sir Fergus MacKay a knight of the round table is asked by her father to give help to the woman who found him, as a personal favor. Geneva agrees and does treat Magnus but he doesn't seem to be getting better. Both women are surprised when to men come looking for him and tell her they must get him back to his island.Another good but short story, which I really enjoyed. This series is so varied in what happens and where it happens, I'm enjoying the variety. The ladies are all outgoing and intelligent and have definite ideas of their own. The mixture of Victorian England with magic, vampires and the fey along with shape shifters is great, add in the numerous inventions that exceed current technology and its a fantastic read!
