A War of Gears and Beauties

Her princess is in a coma. Her friend is captured. And the man she loves is dying. Reeling from Queen Mira’s latest attack and the revelation about the origins of the rebellion, Dr Asami Thorne is left in the outlands with only the fractured remains of Ivory’s forces. If she cannot find a way to wake the princess and challenge Mira’s rule, there will not be a world worth saving. Meanwhile, Elena struggles to escape from the palace and finds help from an unlikely ally… but her true love Pip remains in Toulouse, oblivious to the goings on in the palace of Petragrad and fighting his own battles. There only hope lies in Prince Nero, former paramour of Mira and Ivory's beloved. In the lair of the viper, he struggles to find allies and keep his own head, but when things take a turn for the worst, he's forced to make a desperate bargain. With so much to lose and the whole world against them, is it even possible that any of them will live to experience a happy-ever-after? The epic conclusion to the Mechanical Kingdoms Quartet. Perfect for adult fans of the Lunar Chronicles.
