YA
When the master of her circus commands aerialist Remy to steal a gem during a heavily guarded Tower of London event, she nicks it only to find it's a fake. Plot turns involve circus folk, Remy's tragic past, and her romance with policeman Thaddeus. The action--much of it in a steampunk technological realm controlled by the (real) diamond's magic--is vivid and engrossing.
