Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult
1836, a world of light and dark, noble and guild. The two
spheres intersect when seventeen-year-old Allie Donovan is placed at
the aristocratic St Matthews Academy. More at ease with a blade than
a needle, she finds herself ostracised by the girls and stalked by
a Scottish lord intent on learning why she is among them.
She begins to suspect the underlying reasons when soldiers arrive to see her friend, Zeb, a mechanical genius. On the hunt for answers she breaks into his underground laboratory. There, Allie discovers he is not just constructing sentient mechanical creatures, he is building a devastating new weapon for the military.
The guilds want the weapon and Allie is trapped by ties of blood. She must obey the overlord of the guild and deliver up her friend, unless she can rely on bonds of friendship, to save both their lives.
