(3) YA In an alternate 1888, the British control the American colonies through magic. Verity Newton, a governess, moves to New York and becomes a reluctant spy for the Rebel Mechanics, an underground group that plans to overthrow the magical ruling class with steam- and electricity-powered machinery. Authentic period dialogue and consistent world-building are strengths; the open-ended conclusion leaves room for a sequel.
