Out of place, out of time, and out of options—Jack Fletcher's heart is about to get punked.
Computer nano-technician Jack Fletcher is no hero, despite his unwelcome reputation as one. In fact, he's just been the victim of bizarre circumstances. Like now. His sister happens to disturb one of his nanoelectromechanical system experiments, and now they aren't where they're supposed to be. In fact, they're not sure where they are when they wake up to see a woman with the reddest hair Jack has ever seen—one who Jack knows he shouldn't trust.
Octavia Pye is an Aerocorps captain with a whole lot of secrets, and she's not about to see her see all her hard work unravel because of a few stowaways…even if Jack makes her corset feel two sizes too small.
With countless people depending on them to do what's right, Octavia and Jack face everything from a madman Moghul prince, an arrogant emperor who doesn't seem to have a problem condemning Octavia to death, and an oddball crew who may not approve of what's going on behind the scenes.
Can Jack and Octavia survive long enough to ignite a passion that will forever change the world, or will they be doomed to watch those they love suffer?
