When 15-year-old Edna Mather tears an expensive and unfamiliar pocket watch off her little brother's neck, he crumbles into a pile of cogs right before her eyes.
Horrified, Edna flees for help, but encounters Ike, a thief who attempts to steal the watch before he realizes what it is: A device to power Coglings-clockwork changelings left in place of stolen children who have been forced to work in factories. Desperate to rescue her brother, Edna sets off across the kingdom to the hags' swamp, with Ike in tow. There, they learn Coglings are also replacing nobility so the hags can stage a rebellion and rule over humanity. Edna and Ike must stop the revolt, but the populace believes hags are helpful godmothers and healers. No one wants to believe a lowly servant and a thief, especially when Ike has secrets that label them both as traitors.
Together, Edna and Ike must make the kingdom trust them or stop the hags themselves, even if Ike is forced to embrace his dark heritage and Edna must surrender her family.

This is the story of a girl who's willing to do anything to help his brother and get him back home.
There are many magical and even mechanical creatures, many dangers found along the way, lies and surprises not eve the reader expects.
Even though I enjoyed it, I found it was information driven. By this I mean the most important element given was the information exchanged in conversations, which led you to unravel mysteries and rescue Harrison. So characters themselves were not as important and were the events that did not happen in the book.
I loved the world and the different magical creatures: hags, some kind of cyborg, coglings, and more that merge the future with the past into an original present.
A fantastic journey full of strange creatures

This has taken the top spot as my favorite work of hers. This was a very distinctive tale compared to those I've listened to in the past. This is a land I wish I could somehow visit. I loved the twist with Rachel and Edna, as well as the relationship between Harrison and Edna.
Also, WOW! The narrator selection for this audiobook is perhaps the single best pairing I have ever listened to. Emma Belle did and absolutely phenomenal job and I don't think there could have been a better choice.
Give this story a listen and step into the very unique mind of Mrs. Elizabeth. 5/5 all the way!
One of he most unique books I've listened to
