In the finale to this trilogy set in an alternate America (The Inventor's Secret; The Conjuror's Riddle), Charlotte and friends enlist the help of pirates (and their flying ship) to protect their bionic companion, Grave, from the ruling British Empire and the Resistance. With plenty of action and complex character dynamics providing twists, Cremer's steampunk band of tinkers and adventurers satisfyingly help alter history for the better.
