Shadow of the War Machine
Meg has come a long way from her days as a lowly housemaid, driven to learn the truth behind
her parents’ murder. She’s since discovered that they were part of the
Secret Order of Modern Amusementists — an underground society of
inventors. Determined to reclaim her heritage, she joined the
Amusementists as an apprentice, but that hasn’t brought her closer to
the person responsible for the loss of her family: the man in the
clockwork mask.
Now he is coming for her. But Meg is tired of
being hunted and she intends to become the hunter. With help from Will,
the boy who holds her heart, Meg embarks on an adventure that takes them far from the cold London winter and into the heart of France.
But the City of Light is filled with dark shadows. There’s a plot afoot
that could turn the tides of a terrible war, and cost the lives of
millions — that is, if it doesn’t take the lives of everyone Meg holds
dear, including her own.
