After her parents died in a fire and her grandfather disappeared, Meg Whitlock thought her life had come to a standstill.

Now the Amusementists are convening in London, and Meg is determined to join their ranks. But being the first girl in the Order has its difficulties, and with Will away in Scotland, Meg fears she cant trust anyone but herself. Her worries are only supported by the sabotage happening at the academy, with each altered invention being more harmful than the last.
With threats lurking around every corner, and while trying to prove her worth as the first female Amusementist, Meg must uncover the identity of the academys saboteur before the botched devices become deadly. And after she finds evidence of a sinister and forbidden invention, Meg must stop itor risk the entire future of the Amusementists.
