#2 Season of Skulls by Charles Stross

 

With Eve’s boss dead things appear to be going Eve’s way but not for long. When she presents the current Prime Minster, an Elder God, Upert’s skull she finds out that time travel is tricky and now she has to find and present another version of Rupert’s head to the PM. Rupert shows up and the geas that he has on her comes roaring back to life and she is almost powerless to fight him.  Eve finds herself walking the dream paths on the hunt for Rupert in the past and bring his head back to the present day. Stuck in the Regency and constrained by a woman’s role in that time, Eve has to find a way to escape the magical prison she has been put into. A great book and now it makes me want to reread the books about Eve.
