It's the only way to contain the fey
curse that scars her cheek. The Great War is five years gone, but its scattered
victims remain—the ironskin.
When a carefully worded listing appears for
a governess to assist with a “delicate situation”—a child born during the Great
War—Jane is certain the child is fey-cursed, and that she can
help.
Teaching the unruly Dorie to suppress her curse is hard enough; she
certainly didn't expect to fall for the girl's father, the enigmatic artist
Edward Rochart. But her blossoming crush is stifled by her scars and by his
parade of women. Ugly women, who enter his closed studio...and come out as
beautiful as the fey.
Jane knows Rochart cannot love her, just as she
knows that she must wear iron for the rest of her life. But what if neither of
these things are true? Step by step Jane unlocks the secrets of a new life—and
discovers just how far she will go to become whole again.
Jane Eliot wears an iron mask.

"A lyrical, beautifully crafted debut. I was particularly taken with the
beautifully conceived strangeness of Connolly's fey-touched, just-a-shade-away
alternate magical England. A haunting exploration of the true price one must pay
for magic, beauty, and love, Ironskin will stay with me for a long time
to come."--M.K. Hobson, author of The Native Star
