Synopsis

Taya soars over Ondinium on metal wings. She is an icarus—a courier privileged to travel freely across the city’s sectors and mingle indiscriminately among its castes. But even she can’t outfly the web of terrorism, loyalty, murder, and intrigue that snares her after a daring mid-air rescue. Taya finds herself entangled with the Forlore brothers, scions of an upperclass family: handsome, brilliant Alister, who sits on the governing council and writes programs for the Great Engine; and awkward, sharp-tongued Cristof, who has exiled himself from his caste and repairs clocks in Ondinium’s lowest sector. Both hide dangerous secrets, in this city that beats to the ticking of a clockwork heart . . .

Goodreads review by JAIME LOUISE on August 29, 2015

I don't know guys. This book took me a while to get into, I then inhaled the bloody thing until the last 10% and then took a month to finish it because I JUST. DIDN'T. CARE. Why you say? There just wasn't a lot to hold on to. There was romance, but then again, it was more of an idea only. There was......more

Goodreads review by Hannah on June 28, 2012

I am beyond glad that I picked up this book in my recent enthusiasm for steampunk; to my pleasant surprise, it turned out to be absolutely delightful and left me with a warm sense of satisfaction. I was torn between giving it the full 5 stars or docking points because the mystery of the Great Engine......more

Goodreads review by Angie on April 02, 2008

This debut novel by Dru Pagliassotti is being billed as a steampunk romance/urban fantasy. And it is all of these. But it transcends each of them as well, making it IMO an incredibly enjoyable cross-genre read. I'm sitting here trying to think of someone I wouldn't recommend this book to and I'm co......more
