Iron Codex series book 01
Read by Katie MacNichol

Steampunk fans will delight in this first title in the sure-to-be-popular
Iron Codex series, featuring an alternate, Victorian-flavored America tightly
controlled by Proctors and driven by the Engine, an underground power source.

The only girl at the prestigious School of Engines of Lovecraft Academy, Aoife
(pronounced "ee-fah") Grayson is terrified that she will follow her mother and
brother into the hereditary madness that strikes on the sixteenth birthday,
now just a few weeks away.

Determined to escape that fate, she sets off to her never-met father's estate,
with her friend Cal and a cocksure but very appealing hired guide. Here, she
tumbles into a magical world she recognizes from her father's journals and her
mother's mad ravings.

Kittredge's richly descriptive narrative captures all the details of clockwork,
inventive machinery, foggy mists, ghastly ghouls, and creative landscapes.
There's plenty of tame but satisfying romance, too, and plot twists galore. Aoife
is a caustic-tongued, feisty, and independent young woman, with plenty of nerve
and courage. The abrupt ending signals a sequel, which can't come too soon.
