Gwynn Place: A short steampunk adventure (Magnificent Devices)

A life-changing surprise is in store for the family at Gwynn Place ...

The winds of change are blowing—Lady Claire is a big sister again with the arrival of little Caroline, and eight-year-old Nicholas is preparing to go to Eton.

In an effort to make up for his less than heroic conduct at Holly Cottage, Nicholas' s tutor Alden Dean offers to see the boy safely along his journey.

But Nicholas never reaches Eton, and Alden Dean never returns.

Old enemies have not forgotten old slights, and they’ ve chosen the perfect moment to strike.

Their aim: To force Claire and Andrew to give up the Helios Membrane, an invention that can change the fortunes of an entire country.

But the Lady of Devices is not the only Trevelyan with wits and courage.
