Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze.

The story is set in 17th century europe with slight fantasy settings and slightly changed names of countries. Take it as alternative history story. Imagine 17th century europe without gunpowder but with magic guns and cannons. The story seems to revolve around revolution of warfare, the change from era of sword to the era of rifle.
