When a rumor that her uncle is squandering away the family
fortune surfaces, Katharine Tulman is sent to his estate to
have him committed to an asylum. But instead of a lunatic,
Katharine discovers a genius inventor with his own set of
childlike rules, who is employing a village of nine hundred
people rescued from the workhouses of London.
Katharine becomes torn between protecting her own livelihood
and preserving the peculiar community she grows to care for
deeply -- a conflict made more complicated by her developing
feelings for her uncle's handsome apprentice.
As the mysteries of the estate begin to unravel, it is clear
that not only is her uncle's world at stake, but also the
state of England as Katharine knows it. With twists and
turns at every corner, this extraordinary adventure will
captivate readers with its thrills and romance.
