The Heartsmith's Daughter

"Hearts must be wound, soulmates must be found."

Such are the rules of most. Your heart must be wound up every night in order to keep your blood pumping, and that same key can fit into your soulmate's heart. But, for Evangeline Foster, the girl born with only half the pieces to her heart, she can barely hope to survive past twenty-one, much less feel love and find her one and only. Even with her father being an illegal Heartsmith, pieces can be hard to come by, and even harder after his arrest for the murder of his most recent customer, district minister Henry Bolleman.

With only a map of her heart to guide her and a knife to protect her, Evangeline must work against the law, her own heart, and the assassins who want the minister's prized piece back. Seven pieces are still missing, and her clockwork heart is ticking.
