Alicia Reynard dreams of building a mechanical steam–powered bird. She longs to soar the skies with it and to seek far away adventures. Yet, her daily life helping her family’s farm keeps her grounded to reality.
Lady Elena Singleton has self–studied mathematics. She’s envisioned a calculating machine and longs to see it realized. She believes it could revolutionize the world. But as a noble in the court of Aeterall, she must mind her place and the rules.
But, when the men of Maedrelleden go to war for the king, these two women will get the opportunity to change their fate. The Royal University of Aeterall has sent word to the towns across the land: They seek young women no matter their class to enroll and study. For Alicia it means leaving her home and family behind. But with the looming war, rapid industrialization, sickness, and food rationing will they be okay without her? For Elena, can she defy her arranged marriage and the trappings of her station to pursue her dreams? And what will happen when these two women, and the many others from across the country meet for the first time? Is this the start of a revolution that will change the country forever?
