The Iron Seas is a steampunk romance series by Meljean Brook set in an alternate version of the Victorian era. In this world, the Mongol Horde used steam-powered technology and nanotech organisms called “bugs” to control vast populations across Europe and Asia. The series begins after the Horde’s grip on England has been broken, but its effects still shape society.
The Iron Duke (2010) introduced readers to this world through the story of Rhys Trahaearn, the man who freed England from the Horde, and Detective Inspector Mina Wentworth. Later books, including Heart of Steel and Riveted, expanded the world to new settings like Australia and Iceland. The Kraken King was originally published as an eight-part serial in 2014, later collected into a single volume.
The series includes several novellas and short stories that fill in gaps between the main novels. These shorter works appeared both as standalone releases and in multi-author anthologies like Burning Up and Wild & Steamy.
