As the clockwork carriage shuttled along, Richelle Pieman's mind was on the next step of their ambitious enterprise. Their nemesis, the secret society known as the Tub, had just been dealt a devastating blow, but was it going to be enough?

All her life, Richelle followed in the footsteps of her grandfather, a true renaissance man and genius, but she was growing impatient. Eager for something new and different, life was about to give her exactly what she wished for.

Careful what you wish for in this world of steampunk meets fairy tale, for Mondus Fumus is always listening.
