At 9, Skylar was transported from her Sheffield home to the bustling capital of France, Paris. Now at 16 she has gotten on with her life as normal.

But on the eve of the 7th anniversary of her move, she is transported through a portal and finds herself in the workshop of a fellow Parisian. In an alternative version of Paris in the year 2000. She learns of a threat to this new world. An odd character is on the verge of creating a machine to turn the world into an unknown landscape and their intentions for this land are unknown. All that is known is that they can't be allowed to go through with this planet re-shape. Skylar must use the new inventions and contraptions to her advantage to defeat the imminent threat in time and save herself, Paris and the rest of the alternative world.

Inspired by the literary work of Polly Shulman and her books, 'The Grimm Legacy', 'The Wells Bequest' and 'The Poe Estate' and the artwork of Jean-Marc Côté and various other French artists around the turn of the 20th century and the decade succeeding 1900, this tale explores what could have been the 21st century, with a little bit of fantasy and doom thrown in there to mix it up a little.
