Format: Paperback

Overview:
Step into Kat Dunn's Battalion of the Dead universe with this three-book collection. Set against a dazzling but deadly backdrop of late 18th-century upheaval, these historical fantasies blend swift adventure, arcane science, and lived-in rebellion. Dangerous Remedy introduces Camille, a revolutionary's daughter who gathers a band of outcasts—a runaway girl, a deserter, and an aristocrat in hiding—to cheat death on a perilous mission that could tilt history. Monstrous Design accelerates the action, sending readers from the gilded salons of Paris to the murkier corners of London in 1794, where glitter and grime coexist and scientists push the boundaries between life and death, all while a queer romance threads through the intrigue. Glorious Poison pulls the arc toward a tense finale: Robespierre is dead, but the Revolution's fate still hangs in the balance as Ada, Camille, and old allies contend with a dangerous coup.

What This Collection Covers:
Across three novels, Dunn builds a panoramic, character-driven epic. Readers witness a world where revolution, romance, and risk rub elbows with forbidden science and magic. The collection follows Camille's rebel circle through the shifting tides of Paris and London, exploring loyalty, trust, and the cost of power. With each volume, the stakes rise: alliances bend, betrayals surface, and brave choices redefine who counts as a hero. The setting—opulent ballrooms, grimy streets, and hidden laboratories—is richly drawn, offering sensory detail and political texture that deepen as the series progresses. The narrative voice blends brisk, action-packed sequences with intimate, emotional beats, ensuring momentum without sacrificing character nuance. This trio is a complete, immersive reading experience for fans of historical fantasy who love multidimensional heroines, high-stakes plots, and a dash of romance that resonates beyond the page.

Book-by-Book Guide:
Dangerous Remedy
In this opening installment, Camille, daughter of a revolutionary, rallies a motley crew—a runaway, a deserter, and an aristocrat in hiding—to a perilous mission at the heart of the French Revolution. The Battalion des Morts defies death through audacious daring, cunning plans, and an undercurrent of magical science. Kat Dunn crafts a brisk, cinematic adventure where each twist tightens the net of risk and loyalty. The historical texture—the trappings of revolution, the glitter of high society, and the grit of the streets—grounds the fantasy in a world that feels lived-in. Expect sharp dialogue, perilous chases, and a chorus of brave, imperfect heroes who learn to trust one another in the face of impossible odds.

Monstrous Design
Swashbuckling action returns as the Battalion steps into 1794 London and Paris, where both decadence and deprivation shape every decision. Scientists push the line between life and death, fashioning monsters as easily as they fashion opinions. The pace rockets from opulent salons to shadowed alleyways, all while a queer romance threads through the action with authentic voice and emotional honesty. The stakes deepen as loyalties fracture, power plays intensify, and the heroes confront difficult truths about freedom, love, and what it means to fight for others. Dunn balances thrilling spectacle with character-driven questions, delivering a standout middle act that sets up the final confrontation.

Glorious Poison
In the climactic finale, Robespierre is dead and the Reign of Terror has ended, but the revolution still trembles. The Duc de L'Aubespine plots a coup that would erase years of upheaval, unless Ada, Camille, and their allies find a way to intervene. Reunited in Paris, they navigate fragile loyalties and old enemies, racing to save Olympe and halt the conspiracy. The novel tightens the series’ emotional core while delivering high-stakes action, clever reversals, and a heart-stopping ending. Readers will close the volume exhilarated by the trio's courage and by the way Dunn stitches personal sacrifice to political destiny.
