About this ebook

Though the War rages across the globe, the quiet farming town of Plumgrove is sheltered from much of the turmoil. A young girl named Lily Fairpoole works as her father’s apprentice in their robotic maintenance shop. Gifted with extraordinary technical aptitude, as well as a beautiful singing voice, there seems to be no limit as to what this young prodigy can achieve.

But the War arrives, and brings annihilation to her complacent world. Lily and her loved ones begin a journey fueled by survival, and determination to keep their freedom. Along the way, she must learn to remain true to her heart and to never give up, even when everything she loves has been stripped away.

A blend of early twentieth-century eras and possible futures, as well as a coming-of-age story, this is the prequel to “Ruby Descent”, a decopunk novel.
