About this ebook
From the international bestselling author of the Nightshade novels, comes an action-packed alternate-history steampunk adventure where a young revolutionist realizes that navigating high society might be more perilous than starting a rebellion.
“An inventive blend of steampunk and alternative history . . . gives readers a fantastical world with mechanical wonders and an opulent vintage setting.”—VOYA, starred review
“[A]n entertaining romp in a richly imaginative setting.”—Kirkus Reviews
Charlotte has lived on the edge of Britain’s industrial empire, hiding deep in the Catacombs, ever since she can remember. She and her fellow refugees are preparing for the day when they can join the Resistance and fight against the crown. But when an exile with no memory seeks shelter in their camp, he brings with him new dangers and secrets about the terrible future that awaits them all.
His presence compels them to leave the safety of the Catacombs to seek answers in Britannia’s exquisite Floating City. But Charlotte finds more than just answers there, and navigating a world of high society and political intrigue turns out to be more treacherous than the revolution itself.
