"Fast-paced, clever, and allegorical, this novel considers what makes people human after all. Sedition is powerful because of its social commentary, compelling setting, and unexpected heroine." - Camille-Yvette Welsch, FOREWORD REVIEWSShe was created for more than slavery; she was built for rebellion.In an alternate Victorian England, clockwork cyborgs provide the primary source of labor for the upper class. Known as biomatons, they are property by law and have been manipulated and mind-controlled into subservience.Taryn Roft, a 17-year-old girl, attending classes at Grafton's School of Mechanicks in London has a secret. What's even worse-she cannot remember anything before her twelfth birthday.When a mysterious privateer discovers her secret, he offers her an ultimatum: accompany him to his airship, or her secret will be revealed to everyone. For Taryn, it's not much of a choice. Facing prejudice and cruelty may be nothing new to the only girl at an all-boys' school, but the further from home she gets, the darker her situation becomes.With danger around every corner and holes in her mind, can Taryn uncover the truth and prevent her own destruction before she can sow the seeds of sedition?"It's a story of horror, of nightmares brought to life. But it is also a story about love, hope and trust. A story about making horrible mistakes and having to live with them. It is a story about redemption but also, of course, of Sedition." - Hanna Palm, Goodreads & Bookstagrammer (librarianofterrasen)"Sedition is definitely a book for fans of introspective, deep characters who are enraged by the injustice of the world." - Cat Rector, author of The Goddess of Nothing at All"A good steampunk story ought to say something about society. Seditiondoes this."- Chris Patrick Carolan, author of The Nightshade Cabal"Sedition is one of the most creative and innovative books that I've read this year!...One highlight of this book is that the world-building is amazing, full of automatons and gas lamps. I felt like I was transported back in time to an alternative Victorian London, and I loved it." - Leighton, Layton's Book Reviews
