I Am Machine - Book 1: Steel Puppetry

A princess who doesn't want to be a princess.
A prince who can't escape his icy demeanor.
An android that wants to be human.

Princess Zabaila Augustus just wants to work on computers and not have to worry about her royal duties as the daughter of the emperor of Italy. While trying to get away from Esli Cristall, the prince of Denmark and her betrothed, she runs into Pinlock Stringwood, an android that works with his father at a machine shop. Pinlock is unlike any android Zabaila has ever met, looking almost human but lacking the one thing that sets humans apart from machines: emotions. Pinlock's creator, Caisson, dreams of getting a computer chip that is mixed with magic and technology called a rune-chip that will allow his creation to experience emotions. But in order to get it, he has to call upon the Fairies and they are sparse for a poor machinist like him. When the emperor commissions Caisson to help him with an issue involving an ancient threat to the Earth, the prospect of getting the rune-chip seems ever closer.
But things don't turn out the way anyone planned and now the whole world is upside down! Can Zabaila handle the pressure she has put on herself to save the world and undo what has been done?
