Description

In nineteenth-century England, a boy named Jack Foster enters a doorway into a different version of London called Londinium, a dark and dangerous place filled with metal fairies, clockwork dragons, and mechanical limbs. Ruled by the Lady who demands a perfect flesh-and-blood child and has chosen Jack, his only hope for escape lies with a legendary clockwork bird known as the Gearwing, which grants wishes but was thought to be destroyed. Fans of steampunk and fantasy will find this irresistible.
