Sixteen-year-old
Charlotte and her fellow refugees have scraped out an existence on the edge of
Britain’s industrial empire. Though they live by the skin of their teeth they
have their health (at least when they can find enough food and avoid the
Imperial Labor Gatherers) and each other. When a new exile with no memory of
his escape from the coastal cities or even his own name seeks shelter in their
camp he brings new dangers with him and secrets about the terrible future that
awaits all those who have struggled has to live free of the bonds of the
empire’s Machineworks.
The Inventor’s Secret is the first book of a YA steampunk series set in an
alternate nineteenth-century North America where the Revolutionary War never
took place and the British Empire has expanded into a global juggernaut
propelled by marvelous and horrible machinery.
Why am I waiting
for it?
Yay for steampunk and for Britain ruling the world lol
