About this book
Mattie is an intelligent automaton who has become an accomplished alchemist, but her independence remains precarious: her maker still holds the key that winds her heart. In a city divided between mechanics and alchemists, she receives a commission from the gargoyles whose ancient work helped shape its buildings. Their predicament draws her into conflicts over progress, power, and who gets to count as a person. Industrial machinery and transformative magic coexist in this melancholy, atmospheric novel, where political upheaval is inseparable from the intimate question of whether a created being can truly own her life.
