Rich in atmosphere, imagination, and fun, the action-packed, magic-
filled
sequel to The Clockwork Dagger is an enchanting steampunk fantasy,
evocative of the works of Trudi Canavan and Gail Carriger.

Narrowly surviving assassination and capture, Octavia Leander, a
powerful
magical healer, is on the run with handsome Alonzo Garrett, the
Clockwork
Dagger who forfeited his career with the Queenâ€™s secret society of
spies
and killersâ€”and possibly his lifeâ€”to save her. Now, they are on a
dangerous quest to find safety and answers: Why is Octavia so
powerful? Why
does she seem to be undergoing a transformation unlike any witnessed
for
hundreds of years?

The truth may rest with the source of her mysterious healing powerâ
€”the
Ladyâ€™s Tree. But the tree lies somewhere in a rough, inhospitable
territory
known as the Waste. Eons ago, this land was made barren and
uninhabitable
by an evil spell, until a few hardy souls dared to return over the
last century.
For years, the Waste has waged a bloody battle against the royal court
to win
its independenceâ€”and they need Octaviaâ€™s powers to succeed.

Joined by unlikely allies, including a menagerie of gremlin
companions, she
must evade killers and Clockwork Daggers on a dangerous journey
through a
world on the brink of deadly civil war.
