Imagine that Queen Elizabeth I never ruled. England and Scotland never unified. It’s 1845 and the two countries are once more at war. Mechanical genius Clara Lissing cares little for the war. She just wants to keep her five brothers safe. But when her youngest brother Tom enlists with the army everything she’s worked for starts to fall apart. Clara goes to London to work with Duke Murgatroyd building a device that will bring an end to the fighting. Clara is determined to do her duty, help win the war and send everyone’s brothers home to safety. But life in London brings with it the distracting presence of Gordy, Murgatroyd’s 18-year-old nephew.

Then Clara discovers Murgatroyd’s true plans for the army, the city, and England itself. With war reaching to the heart of London, Clara and Gordy must match duty with determination if they’re to save a nation.
