Disaster befalls Niamhime Geist as a bomb destroys her inventor father's mansion. Trapped in the steam-powered wheeled-chair her estranged yet genius father designed, she was born unable to walk. Overcome by the smoke and flames of the assassin's blast, young Nia believes she is dead only to awaken in horror six months later with artificial arms and legs made of a strange metallic alloy! As Nia escapes from the artificer who dragged her from the ruins of her home, she discovers that the limbs can be manipulated by thoughts alone! Desperate to flee from a society obsessed with perfection that would judge her a monster, she wanders the nation alone; or so she believes. Death seems to follow her metallic footsteps. Whispers haunt her on the tail of the wind. Madness is stoked from within. While corpses pile up in the empire of Sorcière, the wealthy and the destitute share the same tale of a creature of chaos known as the Clockwork Reaper. Lady Geist becomes hunted by nobles, air pirates, and worst of all, the notorious self-righteous Magistrates. Only Nia can confront the nightmare that stalks the souls in Regna Secundus. A bitter harvest is at hand in the first book of the Regna Secundus Insurrection series.
