When Elsa discovers her home world has been attacked and her mother kidnapped, she must use her unique scriptology gifts to find her.

In an alternative Victorian Italy, Elsa finds herself among a group of gifted individuals who possess skills in mechanics, alchemy, or scriptology. There, she meets Leo, a talented mechanist with a troubled past. As they work together to uncover the truth behind her mother's disappearance, they must also confront an assassin and navigate the complex web of politics that threatens their world.
