As a student of the prestigious Royal Academy, Clare's work on automatons needs to not only impress her professors, but also honor the legacy of her late mother - who wrote the book on humanity's mechanized companions.

This means the police lied to her about her mother's fate... but why? There's only one way to find out. Turns out: there's more to the underground than she's been told...
