Book Description
A steampunk or clockpunk romantic fantasy set in Ondinium, a city that beats to the ticking of a clockwork heart. Taya, a metal-winged courier, can travel freely across the city's sectors and mingle indiscriminately among its castes. A daring mid-air rescue leads to involvement with two scions of an upperclass family and entanglement in a web of terrorism, loyalty, murder, and secrets.
As decaturs, Alister and Cristof Forlore are born into the most privileged yet the most restricted caste. As an icarus, Taya is nominally outside the caste system; her family are of the famulate caste and her colleagues include her fellow icarii as well as lictors, or law enforcement.
