"1897 London, England. Finley, Griffin, Sam, Emily and Jasper are back from their trip to America. Ever since their return Jasper has been a little too quiet and Griffin has been off since they got back two months ago. Emily and Sam's relationship is finally starting to take a step in the right direction when suddenly Emily is abducted by automatons. Griffin believes Leonardo Garibaldi is behind it but not everyone is convinced. Join the team once more as they search London's underground for Emily and seek to uncover the truth of who took Emily and why. In the third installment of the Steampunk Chronicles, new characters will be revealed and characters from past books will have a large impact on the exciting conclusion of this book. Another swashbuckling adventure, full of thrilling action, intriguing character development and a story that will have teens begging for more! Fans of classic works such as Frankenstein, Dracula, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde will be pleased with this mixture of classic Gothic literature and Victorian style fantasy! Highly recommended. Ages 16+"
